Cassidy Arch Canyon is a true classic! The entry rappel will take your breath away, but the excitement doesn't end there. There’s never a dull moment, with surprises around every corner in Cassidy Canyon. Set among tall walls in a neat little package of a canyon, it can be done as a casual sociable day with plenty of opportunities for practicing skills. Alternately, a fast and efficient group could move through the canyon quickly and combine it with a second half-day canyon nearby. Or, take advantage of its convenient central location to break up a long drive.
Note that due to the popularity of this canyon the time it takes you to do this canyon could be substantially lengthened due to getting "bottle necked" behind other groups - especially when there are large groups or groups with fairly timid or beginner rappelers.
