About
Egypt 1 offers a lot packed into a short approach and exit. Those with high skill levels can downclimb the entire canyon if they want which makes it fun and exciting. Our beginners and those who wish to rappel will do 3 smaller rappels.
The narrows in this canyon are super fun! with unique features that keep it exciting and offer fun challenges. With our competent leadership, this is a great family or beginner friendly canyon. The downclimbs yield fairly easily to team work and partner catches / assists. This canyon can hold a bit of water at times after very heavy rains which makes it super fun if you like to get wet!
It begins with a small rappel which allows newcomers to get their first taste and "learn the ropes". From there, the canyon drops down into larger slot canyons with some intermediate rappels as you wind through the beautiful sandstone walls. Experience the best hiking tour and canyoneering in Kanab, Zion, Bryce and The Grand Canyon.
