Canyon Guiding & Training

So, you think you need professional help? You're in luck. Whether seeking an amazing day with your family or training to improve your technical skills, professional canyoneering guides here in Utah and elsewhere in the US and the world are available to provide exactly what you are looking for.

Guided Canyoneering

There are many good reasons to hire a guide. For example:

• Want to go descend some quality canyons, but not deal with all the stressful life-or-death safety stuff?

• Want to get a taste of the sport to see if it is for you?

• Want to make the most of your valuable vacation time?

• Taking the family or a cadre of incompetent friends on a trip, and you want them all to come back happy?

Hire a guide. These folks really know what they are doing, and can take you to some really cool places, and generally provide all the gear. Most guided canyoneering comes in half-day or full-day flavors, with a few multi-day adventures available out there. 

Who to call?

There are many good guide services and instructors out there. Tom and Nick are partial to Zion Adventure Company and Zion Guru, as their guiding philosophies resonate strongly with our own ideals. But we've never gone out with other guide services, so what do we know? Here's the list:
