What Is Canyoneering? Why Should You Try It?


Great question! We get asked this all the time. Many people have never heard of the sport, canyoneering, let alone have done it. Canyoneering involves descending a canyon, which is a deep ravine between cliffs carved from the landscape by a river, and can include both dry and water-filled canyons. Let us tell you, it is an incredibly fun adventure you will never forget! Utah Canyoneering simply put is a multi-sport adventure where you explore a slot canyon.


It is how you navigate the canyon that makes canyoneering so fun and exciting. We use many techniques to make our way through the canyons: rappelling, zip-lining, sliding on rocks, hiking, squeezing through narrow passages, scrambling, wading through water, and even swimming in some cases. Most of the slot canyons we explore are located just outside of Zion National Park, and we have access to canyons that suit all ages, fitness levels, abilities, and desires for adventure. We believe canyoneering is a sport for everyone. Booking a guide with All Ways Adventure is perfect for beginners and rusty old climbers alike since the sport requires knowledge and skills in navigation and rope work.

What Is Rapelling? Why Should You Try It?


Rappelling, or abseiling, involves descending a vertical surface like a cliff or rock face using a rope and specialized equipment. This technique requires skill - which is easily learned from your guide - and concentration as you lower yourself with a harness, belay device, and safety ropes. It’s a practical way to explore vertical landscapes that are otherwise hard to access, offering a unique view of nature.


When you choose to rappel with All Ways Adventure, you’ll have a safe and educational experience. Our guides are highly trained and focus on your safety, providing clear instructions and hands-on training to ensure beginners can participate confidently. They are also familiar with the local terrain and will take you to some of the most scenic and less-traveled spots in Southern Utah.


Rappelling with us also gives you a close-up look at the natural beauty and geological features of the area. As you descend, you’ll see unique rock formations, hidden caves, and lush canyon floors. Our guides offer insights into the region's geology and ecology, adding educational value to the adventure. For a challenging experience or a deeper connection with nature, rappelling with All Ways Adventure is a great way to explore the outdoors.
