"Kayd did a fantastic job guiding us! We haven’t stopped talking about it and it’s been over a week! We can’t wait to go back. I had never rappelled before and am afraid of heights. I felt very safe the entire time and enjoyed every minute. Kayd is willing to teach you as much about rappelling as you can absorb, as well as facts about the terrain and living species in the area. He knew about lizards, plants, rocks, and more...Kayd can also help you find the perfect canyon for your group. We told him what we wanted and our physical capabilities and his pick was a perfect fit!"
