Beginning Canyoneering Routes:

Canyoneering is an activity that involves hiking and skills like rappelling, rope work, rock-climbing, route finding, and swimming in cold water to allow you to see many more remote and secluded canyons than you could by simply hiking. These routes are not suitable for hikers who have no technical canyoneering experience.
