Slot Canyon Hiking Tour
“explore some”
Rates Include; *Coffee, Tea or Juice upon arrival. *Ice Cream/sorbet upon return from tour. *Backpacks, helmets and water bottles.
On these excursions you can expect to learn some canyon hiking techniques, slide on your bottom, maybe get a little wet and see sights you never imagined. “Heel locks”, “butt slide” and “smear” will become a part of your vocabulary for the day. These hikes are a lot of fun and might remind you of a day at the playground when you were a kid. The strong traveler will do well on this excursion, but the mature and wise explorer might do better! Don’t forget your play clothes!
