Canyoneering trips access terrain that most visitors are not able to see on their own. We provide guide, equipment, transportation, and local logistics. Trips involve rappelling, hiking, down-climbing, stemming, and slot canyon exploration. Our trips are efficient and streamlined to maximize your time in the field. We use modern safety systems and simple instruction.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Compare this other Zion Guide Services
The Top of Water Canyon is likely the most popular option within this trip category. It is an excellent route when conditions are right, however when conditions are not ideal there can be much better options. We offer several high adventure itineraries that are not available from any other guide service. Ask about Multi canyon trips into the Pine Valley Mountains and the difficult to access Red Cave Canyon area or the limestone to sandstone trip.
Are we in a group with others?
You will not be grouped with others.
Our trips are private.
How many rappels will we do
8 to 12 rappels up to 200ft depending on canyon route. If a high rappel count a priority let us know so we can plan accordingly.
Will we get wet
Canyoneering with water features are usually available within this trip category. Contact us for the most up to date info on conditions and what we think are the best routes for your time frame. There are also excellent dry options.
Guided Trip or Instructional Course
Guided trips are the best option for most Zion National Park visitors. Instructional canyoneering courses are for participants that want to learn canyoneering systems for doing canyon routes on their own without a guide.
How high are the rappels
50ft to 200ft depending on route. The position of a rappel is more of a factor than height. We use a top belay system and can tandem if necessary. Most of our guests are first timers and that is the norm.
