Imagine lush trees, crystal clear waters flowing through slot canyons. Imagine traveling through spaces very few people ever get to see, journeying through landscapes carved by the power and simplicity of water. Now imagine you, working your way down the canyon, leaping from boulder to boulder, using ropes and harnesses to descend waterfalls and rock walls many feet tall. This is canyoneering.
