What is Canyoneering?
Here is an excerpt from the guiding site on the half day adventure our group will be partaking:
“As you venture through this canyon, you can marvel at the forces of nature as you pass through these beautifully sculpted, twisting passages, immaculately carved by the passing of time and water. This canyon is packed with excitement as you negotiate slot canyons and wade through chest deep water balancing your pack on your head. This canyon is a thrill and a great taste of real-deal canyoneering.”
BONUS!
If you want to break up the ride home there will be the option to stop in Palisade for wine + mead tastings and to purchase local farm fresh produce including some famous Palisade peaches!
