Waterfall Canyoneering
Duration: 12 hours; $185; Pop culture has taught us not to go chasing waterfalls, and to just stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to. However, life needs a little TLC and adventure, and canyoneering specialists wouldn't disagree. With Discover Outdoors, you'll hike through the woods, chase waterfalls, and go down them... sort of. Like a rescue unit or a film hero, you'll descend narrow gorges using a system of rappels with fresh water splashing you in the face, making you feel worlds away from the city. Rappelling down five cascading waterfalls, you'll drop over 1,500 feet. This experience tests your strength, endurance, and bravery.
