About Canyoneering USA

What started as a beta blog (back before blogging was really a thing) has transformed into an entire canyoneering tribe in Utah and beyond. Tom Jones, founder of Canyoneering USA (often shortened to CUSA), is the mastermind behind the guide. Addicted to diving deep in the desert, Tom and the CUSA crew want nothing more than for you to catch canyoneering fever and join the community.

The seed for running Jacob was planted last year when my friend Mark mentioned it. After that I quickly started looking for beta on the internet. The only information I could gather was on Canyoneering USA. Tom does a good job in providing helpful information on many of the Zion Routes. I like his old school approach with a topographic map and some coordinates.
