ACA Canyoneering

Welcome to the Canyoneering Meetup Group

Canyoneering Meetups provide many opportunities for diverse groups of canyoneers to get together to practice skills learned in ACA courses and elsewhere, meet new friends and have fun doing canyons.

We believe that bringing people together is good for the sport. It brings people into the community; encourages sharing of ideas, information and techniques; and improves safety and ethics.

The group is based in Cedar City, Utah, but we host events throughout Utah, California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Mexico, Costa Rica ... and anywhere else in the world where there are beautiful canyons to explore.

"Weather looks good for Friday and Saturday, predictably temperate at lower elevations, and seasonably cold at higher. For Sunday (Styx/Coffin) NOAA tentatively predicts variable weather. Light rain/snow/winds do not cancel."
