About
Come desert exploring with us, on this fun for the whole family adventure. We will be hiking, climbing, and rappeling. This is also a great introduction to the sport of canyoneering and canyoning. We will be navigating up and through canyons, climbing up fins, and rappeling off arches in the heart of red rock country. As the day gets warmer it will be time to eat lunch and move to the river. From the desert fins to the Colorado River a dramatic change will have us stand up paddling through the canyons of the Colorado Plateau. This trip is all inclusive and includes lunch, all canyoning/river equipment, really good guides, and transportation from town.
