Summary

Throughout history, the canyons of North America have been pioneered by Native Americans, Spaniards, soldiers, prospectors, surveyors, and river runners. These canyons are among the most spectacular in the world and provide unlimited opportunities for hikers, backpackers, climbers, and modern-day adventurers to explore the world below the horizon line. In Canyoneering, John Annerion offers a detailed, comprehensive guide to the fundamental elements of canyon exploration.
