Canyoneering Tours

Water cutting through stone creates remarkable, intricate landscapes. In Utah, it creates canyons, and many of these canyons are of a scale that is friendly for human visitors. Exploring these places is called canyoneering, and may involve hiking, swimming, rappelling, and climbing; but also bushwacking, thrutching up boulder problems, thrashing through narrow slots, and hypothermia, heat stroke and dehydration. We worship these beautiful canyons, large and small, technical and non-technical; we revere their pristine beauty, the adventure of finding out what is around the next corner, the fun of solving problems without altering the landscape. Join us in visiting, and loving, these canyons.

Canyons vary greatly in their depth, width, and composition, and for this reason canyoneering can entail much more than a casual walk between canyon walls. Many canyons require specialized gear and techniques to traverse them successfully and safely—this is known as technical canyoneering. Technical canyoneering necessitates the use of much the same gear (ropes, harnesses, webbing, etc.) and techniques (chimneying, stemming, rappelling, etc.) employed by cavers and climbers, making it a hybrid sport. The sheer number of canyons and their varying technical diversity allow people of all ages and skills levels to enjoy the sport of canyoneering
