Hydrate and fuel up

Footwear for the approach
Wear sturdy approach shoes with good grip for the hike to the canyon; you'll swap to neoprene socks in the canyon.
Practice basic swimming
Be comfortable swimming in cold, moving water; guides supervise jumps and swims but you'll need to self-rescue in small currents.
Protect valuables
Keep electronics and documents in a small waterproof dry bag or leave them in the vehicle; pockets will flood and straps can snag.
