By: Christopher Van Tilburg

Have you ever dreamed of hiking deep into canyons and gorges? Descending into slot canyons, rappelling into caverns, or swimming through plunge pools? Navigating canyon mazes, chockstones and logjams, or rushing streams in narrow gullies? Welcome to the next big outdoor sport.

Similar to caving and mountaineering, canyoneering combines a wide range of backcountry skills to explore the unique and often remote world of canyons. Skills discussed include rappelling and rock climbing, mountain biking, swimming, camping, weather reading, and route finding.

This comprehensive guide covers a broad range of information about the sport, plus all the technical aspects, from the basics-including travel between narrows, through pools, streams, and waterfalls, up rock or logjams, and across talus slopes-to advanced-bouldering, swimming, rappelling, ascending, canyon biking and paddling, and rock climbing.
