Technical Canyons

sample

ZION. This is the place. Deep, spectacular canyons with lots of water make Zion the ONLY place to canyoneer in the height of summer.A few dramatic, technical routes challenge the veteran canyoneer; but most routes in Zion offer more beauty than challenge, with well-established anchors that make them a good place for people to start their canyoneering careers.  While many people consider Zion crowded and over-civilized - with permit and access issues getting in the way of a wilderness experience - away from the ten most popular canyons can be found much wilderness and adventure.
