Zion Canyon Rendezvous
- Sep 20, 2012 · 8:00 AM
Thursday-Sunday, September 20-23
The Zion Canyon Rendezvous provides an opportunity for a diverse group 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.
There is no charge for participation in this rendezvous.
Participants are responsible for making arrangements for their own accommodations at the Ponderosa.

Hi All! I posted some pixs from the rondy at Flickr. If we did canyons together, there's probably a shot of you there somewhere. You can also copy the full file of any photo. Thanks for standing still, even when I wasn't. :)

Hey Rich! Tae and I don't mind being called newbie leaders! :) We lead 5 canyons, Beh, Key, Pine, Spry and Lodge with great satisfaction. I promise to take your Canyon Leader course. ;) Seriously, without saying, this event brings people from around the world and I'm very proud to be apart of it and to know you.
Warm regards,

Ditto what Dave said! THANKS VERY MUCH to you, Rich, for putting these events together year after year. As long as you keep organizing, I'll keep coming back. I love getting together with old friends and meeting new ones. (My only regret this year is that I bailed on doing Keyhole at night so didn't get to do a canyon with you.)

Love these events! Great to catch up with old friends, and so wonderful to make new ones! Being able to share canyon adventures with others that have a real appreciation of these wonders of nature is a true blessing.

Worked well for us because of using the Meetup site to respond to posted canyon trips. Was able to make the exact canyon trips we had hoped for. If a person who did not use the Meetup site (we knew one), they would have had a more difficult time finding a trip to be included in.

Always a blast organizing these rendezvous. As usual, we drew a great group of fun-loving canyoneers to this, our 12th annual Zion rendezvous.
