Thanks for pointing out that there would be rappelling, hiking, climbing, and jumping when we try canyoneering activities. I wanted to book Zion canyoneering guides in the summer to experience it with my friends for the first time. So I hope that they will be down with it as well and be ready for any extreme activities we will be trying out so that we can all tick it off our bucket list.
