Frequently Asked Questions

A canyon is a natural environment, deep in the mountains. You will walk into the canyon and then make your way back down following waterfalls as they cascade down into pools of water. There are multiple ways to move through canyons, including walking, rappelling (abseiling) jumping, swimming, scrambling and sliding.

We recommend wearing contact lenses in the canyon; please bring an extra set along for after the trip, in case they fall out during the tour. If you do not wear contacts, glasses can be worn with sport straps that are available at most outdoor stores.

All that’s needed is swimwear and a towel if you have one. We do recommend wearing athletic shorts for the hike up if your swimwear of choice is not boardshorts. Please wear your bathing suit under your clothes when you arrive so you are ready to go canyoning! You will be wearing the socks & shoes we provide for the hike up. Your clothes, shoes, towel and personal belongings will not come into the canyon with us; any property your bring on the tour is at your own risk. Please note, we used the sizes you provide at the time of booking to pack the equipment for you, please ensure you give accurate sizes for each participant in your group.

Yes, please inform us at the time of booking and when the guide introduces themselves to you.

No, our beginner canyons suitable for all ages; adults and children (minimum age 12 years old, after July 4th kids aged 10+ can join us in Angel Creek). For our intermediate and advanced tours, we do require some experience.

At Canyoning Colorado we consider previous experience and lifestyle as to whether you are suited to an intermediate canyon. If you do not have canyoning/canyoneering experience but you live a highly active lifestyle, climb regularly (lead, top rope), are an avid whitewater paddler, have experience working with ropes or at height, then you might be suited to this canyon, instead of a beginner canyon.
