You step off the van and the canyon calls: cold water pushing at your calves, moss-smoothed rock underfoot, and a narrow green corridor that funnels you toward the fall. Guides check harnesses with efficient hands; the first rappel drops you into a curtain of spray and the canyon seems to dare you forward.
