A cool mist hits the face before the sound — the ravine announces itself. Participants step from a short forested approach into a narrow river corridor where slick rock and clear falls alternate. Guides kit each group in neoprene suits and helmets, then lead a measured walk to the first drop. Water dares you onward; the current pushes forward and the canyon responds with sudden curtains of spray.

Wear grippy water shoes
Choose closed-toe water shoes with good tread—rock surfaces are slick even when shallow.
Layer for after the swim
Bring a lightweight fleece or windbreaker to change into immediately after the activity.
Practice basic rope posture
Listen to guide briefings on body position for rappels to make descents smoother and safer.
Protect small items
Leave valuables at the meeting point or use a sealed dry bag; guides provide photo/video so cameras aren’t necessary.
Neoprene suit
Retains warmth in cold mountain water and reduces shock from long wet exposure.
Water shoes
Provides traction on slick rock and protects feet from sharp riverbed stones.
Helmet with chin strap
Protects against bumps in narrow slots and during rappels.
Dry bag for personal items
Keeps layers and personal items dry before and after the canyoning section.
