Description

Looking over the edge of a vertical cliff get ready to shout, 'ON RAPPEL!' Join up to nine other fellow adventurers on a six hour tour into the heart of a Sonoran Desert canyon. This 'choose your way' adventure will have you wading through desert plant life, rock hopping down a dry stream bed, wiggling your way under house size boulders, testing your problem solving skills on down climbing puzzles, and taking a leap of faith over a 150ft foot jaw dropping rappel.

Family memories

Great experience! We did this adventure as a family group and couldn’t have been more pleased. Brian and Elijah were patient, explaining everything we needed to know, but not overbearing or micromanaging. They showed us a unique terrain that we hadn’t explored here in Arizona. The repelling was challenging but not scary. Overall a great experience we will remember and definitely recommend!

We had an awesome time in the canyon with your family! Thanks for choosing Adventure On Purpose to make a memory.

Fun for all ages!

I’m 62 & had never rappelled before. From the start, Brian gained my trust. It was perfectly safe and fun!

Spectacular

What a great way to experience spectacular scenery and try something new and challenging. Brian was very accommodating in planning a water canyoning adventure, even though it wasn’t the right time of year. He provided a completely safe way to enjoy the thrill of rappelling down slippery waterfalls. He was always patient and full of praise and encouragement. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone with a basic level of fitness.

So much fun!!!

I took my 12 year old son on this trip-he was skeptical that it would be fun but he had a blast. It was great to get off the regular trails and really explore the desert. The rappelling was so fun, the idea of it is scary not the actual doing of it. Thanks so much for a great time!

Excellent trip! Loved the adventure

Brian and family were great. Gave a whole new perspective on canyoneering and 1st time rappelling was amazing. Brian made everything smooth and was knowledgeable of desert environments. Will definitely be attending again.

Not easy but worth the effort

Excellent guide and amazing location. Not too far away and not too long of a day. Plenty of excitement and challenge. Safety was always a high priority and taking care to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for some adventure.
