Tour Itinerary
Your day starts at 9:00 AM at a supermarket in Globe, Arizona - perfect for grabbing any last-minute personal items (exact location and directions arrive with your confirmation). From there, we caravan to the put-in spot, where your guides fit you with a harness and helmet and walk the group through a full safety and rappel-technique briefing. No experience is required: first-timers learn everything on site, and your booking notes tell us your experience on rope ahead of time.
Then it's down into the slot: scramble, down-climb, and rappel through sculpted passages, with guides managing every anchor and belay. Plan on roughly 3-5 hours in the canyon depending on group size and pace, wrapping up back at the vehicles with plenty of stories.
