I can't say enough good things about this trip. The owner was really nice, knowledgeable, and has many years of experience. His daughter came on this trip and she was a really nice, adorable, and well mannered 11 year old! If you are fit and have a sense of adventure, you will not regret this trip. I have never done a trip like this before where you do a whole trip in the water through a canyon and then a short hike at the end. I saw many waterfalls (brown waterfalls! but still beautiful) ! A beginner in canyoneering or rock climbing can also do this trip. The canyon is beautiful. I wore sports bra, long sleeve/long pants active wear under my wet suit. I highly recommend the wet suit. Even the owner wore a wet suit. I wore my snowboarding socks because they are wool and I wore my hiking/trail running ankle shoe because it helps with traction on the rocks. I didn't take a wool hat or gloves and I was fine with just their helmet (but I did get a mild sun burn on my exposed hands, neck, and face and rocks are pretty smooth and I didn't get cut). I took a small camelback and I was able to tuck my wetsuit behind my back to carry it in and out of the canyon, but I should have brought a bigger pack because my dry bag for my lunch didn't fit in it and the owner helped me carry. I took cold pizza for lunch and snacked on dates. It would be nice to leave some flip flops in the van so that you can take your shoes off when you are done. Otherwise it's a short drive back to the meet site and then you can change into dry clothes. Bring a GoPro camera because you will want to take pictures! Thank you Brian and Chloe for an amazing time. God Bless you and your family for taking people out on these trips.
