What to expect
Expect to move through the canyon in stages, setting ropes for descents whilst a guide manages safety. Between rappels you'll traverse slick rock, slide into basins, and decide whether to jump—no pressure if you skip them. The canyon walls are dramatic and water-sculpted. You'll need solid fitness and swimming ability to manage the swims between sections. Most sections are technical but achievable if you follow instruction. The whole session runs about four and a half hours with a qualified guide leading.
