Itinerary for Multi-Day Canyoneering Adventure
Your Adventure begins with a warm welcome from your guide who will provide an overview of the exciting canyoneering route options to choose from. With over six million acres of spectacular and awe-inspiring canyons to explore and dozens of exciting route options, rest assured we’ll select the perfect option to complement you and your group.
Options include a magnificent route through a red rock canyon system as beautiful and breathtaking as the Grand Canyon. This route offers a wide variety of fun, exciting, and beginner-friendly challenges that include hiking, scrambling, squeezing, rappelling, and downclimbing through intricately carved, fluted layers of Navaho Sandstone. Our exit hike from the canyon is equally impressive characterized by sweeping, slickrock vistas, colorful valleys, mesas, and buttes that follow the original path of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
After deciding on our canyoneering route for the day, we will caravan by vehicle to the trailhead. Your guide will discuss the day’s itinerary, check everyone’s gear and provisions for the day, and have a short safety discussion and rappel practice before setting out on our day’s adventure.
