Canyoneering Tours

Water cutting through stone creates remarkable, intricate landscapes. In Utah, it creates canyons, or even very narrow slot canyons. 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; or sliding through narrow slots. We relish 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 experiencing these canyons.

Slot 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 slot 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.
