For first timers' canyoneering and repelling, this was challenging but completely worth the views. Zage was great at walking us through each obstacle and providing options to complete each stage. While the heat was definitely our enemy of the day, we all still agreed we would do it again. If you are a beginner or traveling alone, a guide is a must!!! Even if you are experienced, the knowledge of the terrain is valuable. Bring plenty of water (2 Liters minimum per person) and healthy snacks. You will need to refuel. Thanks, Zage, for making this a fun 50th birthday experience.
