About

Canyoning Colorado is a guided adventure operator in Ouray, Colorado, specializing in canyoneering rather than simple hiking. The activity involves descending into enclosed canyons using techniques like rappelling down cliffs and waterfalls. Tours typically last half a day or a full day and are rated as intermediate difficulty, though options exist for beginners aged 12 and up. The activity is seasonal, running from June through September. Participants access the canyons via hiking trails starting from the town of Ouray. The experience is conducted by professional guides who supervise technical descents, including drops exceeding 100 feet. Parking is available at the site, and pets are generally permitted on the trails leading to the canyon entrances.
