Canyoning Colorado runs these canyons on a regular basis for its commercial tours; please check departure times on each canyon page for more information. This information should be understood as a reference-only and not as a recommendation. Conditions can change dramatically after significant weather events and even on a daily basis. Any group or individual descending any of these canyons should do their own assessment of current conditions including weather forecast, water level and terrain status, and ensure all members of the group have the necessary skills and equipment to descend safely.
