Welcome to

CanyoneeringUSA

your First Stop for adventure in Utah's canyons.

I hope you will find both inspiration and utility here. On the UTILITY side, we offer the:

Canyoneering USA Store

Rather than visit 17 different stores and talk to 17 different clerks who don't even know what canyoneering is, shop at CUSA with the experts in canyoneering. We carry a careful selection of gear - the stuff that we have used, tested, and know works great in the wet, sandy canyons of the Colorado Plateau.

Shipping is generally same- or next-day; or when I am away 'field-testing', it might take a couple days to get into the Brown Truck and on its way to you. Email CanyoneeringUSA@gmail.com if you have questions. I can be hard to get a hold of on the phone during the canyoneering season (March 1st to February 28th) - when I am away for more than a few days, the email is covered, but the phone is not.


NEW: Canyoneering USA Press

The new CUSA Press Section includes updates on the Zion: Canyoneering book, and draft material on upcoming titles. Technical Canyoneering Tech Tips have a new home in the CUSA Press section, as they will (eventually) end up in a book, I hope.


Also featuring:

Tom's Utah Canyoneering Guide has helpful, accurate information about hikes and technical canyons in Utah.

Visit the Community Link for access to fun things like:

-|- Latest Rave - a canyoneering diary, where you'll find trip reports and lots of pictures; and

See you in the canyons, and keep it narrow -

Canyon Guide

Spring 2007, I completed my guide training and have been guiding canyons and teaching canyoneering courses with Zion Adventure Company. It has been challenging and fun. What could be better than introducing people to the wonderful world of Canyoneering, and getting paid for it!

Zion

In Zion, I work as a guide and instructor with Zion Adventure Company in Springdale. Looking for an amazing day out with family or friends, an excellent Introduction to Canyoneering, or instruction tailored to your skillset and ambitions? Hire me or any of the other excellent guides at ZAC by calling 435-772-0990.

Hope to see you out there soon.

Canyoneering
Water cutting through stone creates remarkable, intricate landscapes. In Utah, it creates canyons on a scale friendly to human visitors. Canyons in Mexico and Europe feature caves, jumps and waterfalls. Exploring these places is called canyoneering, and involves hiking, swimming, rappelling, and climbing; but also bushwacking, thrashing through narrow slots, plus hypothermia, heat stroke and dehydration.

We worship these beautiful canyons, large and small, technical and non-technical; we revere their pristine beauty, the adventure of finding out what is around the next corner, the fun of solving problems without altering the landscape. Join us in visiting, and loving, these canyons.

Canyoneering - kind of like fun, only different.
