Slot Canyon Hiking
On these excursions you can expect to learn some canyon hiking techniques, slide on your bottom, maybe get a little wet and see sights you never imagined. “Heel locks”, “butt slide” and “smear” will become a part of your vocabulary for the day. These hikes are a lot of fun and might remind you of a day at the playground when you were a kid. The strong traveler will do well on this excursion, but the mature and wise explorer might do better! Don’t forget your play clothes!
Explore. Grow. Be Amazed.

WHAT TO WEAR & BRING
What to Wear & Bring:
Start at the top of a fantastic slot canyon. Slowly hike down the canyon using your feet, hands and butt to make it easy. When its is too “spicy” to slide, we use the equipment you are wearing to safely and smoothly rappel down to begin hiking again. Depending on the choice, during a full day of canyoneering there may be as few as 1-2 small rappels. The rope is a only simple tool we use to make things easier and safer, not a means of unnecessarily scaring people.
