Medieval Chamber Canyoneering

About This Adventure

Some canyons feel like corridors. Medieval Chamber feels like a cathedral. The walls climb forty feet overhead and the light goes diffuse and otherworldly, bouncing between rock faces striated with iron-red and cream. Passages narrow until you turn sideways; chambers open wide enough to stop and be still.

The route is accessible from age six, with rappels that introduce technical skills without overwhelming anyone. Your guide manages the ropes and reads the terrain, but the discoveries are yours — a pothole carved like a bathtub, a chamber so quiet you can hear your own breathing. All gear and instruction provided; guided; 4–6 hours.

Groups of 10 or more people: A 10% deposit is required at the time of booking. This is non-refundable, unless our guides cancel due to weather. The remaining balance is due within 48 hours of the trip date. Late Arrivals: Although our tours are private, and we will accommodate late arrivals as we can, occasionally a late arrival can cause tours later in the day and/or shuttle logistics to be affected. Because of this, we reserve the right to cancel your tour if you arrive more than 30 minutes after your scheduled reservation time. If a tour is canceled because of a late arrival, a refund will not be issued. Weather: Full refunds are given if your guide cancels your trip due to bad weather. Our guides will make the final "go/no go" decision based on the safety of your group. If you decide to cancel because of uncomfortable weather, our standard cancellation policy will apply. Travel Insurance: If you believe there is a chance that you will have to cancel your tour within the non-refundable 24-hour cancellation period, we strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why is this canyon considered easy?+

  It's a one-way, mostly downhill hike with very minimal elevation gain and straightforward rappels suited for beginners.

• If I get scared, can I walk around the rappels?+

  No. This is a one-way tour, making both rappels mandatory. However, guides are patient and encouraging, and you are always backed up with a second safety rope.

• I've never rappelled before — is that OK?+

  Absolutely. No prior rappelling experience is required and you are always backed up with a second rope throughout the entire descent.

• What should I wear?+

  Regular hiking clothes work fine. Closed-toe shoes are required; water shoes are recommended for summer months.
