Overview

This canyon trip is unique in it's accessibility to canyoneers of all skill levels, including beginners. Think scenic canyon hiking, but the hike is intermingled with exciting rappels down water features. This trip has a little bit of everything- a good workout, a chance to learn new skills, and some free-hanging on ropes to get your adrenaline pumping. And all of it nestled in a beautiful desert setting that is otherwise inaccessible to the public. This trip requires some physicality and a solid base fitness level.

What's Included

  • Harnesses, helmets, and rappel devices.
