The canyoneering trips go rain or shine as you will get wet regardless. We do provide rainjackets if it is raining.
Trips are run rain or shine. In case of severe weather where the guide sees a safety risk for participants the trip may be cancelled or shortened and the appropriate refund will be provided.  Rain gear is provided if rain is present or expected.
 
You will need to bring water and maybe a light snack/ lunch, unless you want us to provide lunch for an additional $15 per person. You will want to wear comfortable clothes that you typically wear to hike in and shoes to hike in that protect your feet and drain easily when wet. Basic running or nongortex hiking shoes are fine. We do not recommend any kind of boot. A shoe such as Keen sandals or water type running shoes work best. We will supply you with all the climbing gear you need. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
