What canyoneering is
Canyoneering means traveling down a canyon on foot: scrambling, squeezing through narrows, wading pools and rappelling down dry falls on a rope. The guide brings the harness, helmet and ropes and teaches you on the spot.
Half-day trips in Goblin Valley are the gentlest start. Full-day trips in Capitol Reef and the San Rafael Swell have bigger rappels. Robbers Roost canyons, including the one made famous by the movie 127 Hours, are remote and more demanding.
Want to go on your own someday? The 1-day and 3-day courses teach rope work and anchors.
Before you book
- Torrey and Hanksville are small towns with few guides, so spring and fall dates fill early. Book ahead for April, May, September and October.
- Summer days are hot in the canyons and cooler up in Torrey at almost 6,900 feet. Morning starts are the most comfortable from June to August.
- Flash floods close slot canyons fast. Guides watch the forecast and move or cancel trips when storms are possible.
- Cell service is spotty east of Torrey and around Hanksville. Save your confirmation and meeting point before you drive out.
- Prices change by date and group size. The Book button shows the real price for your day.
