    Hi everyone,

    Sorry if my post is not in the right place, I did not know where else to post.

    I always dreamed of canyoneering but never had a chance to actually do it.

    I will be in California in August and have been looking for options to do a guided trip in Sierra Nevada with no success.

    Do you have any recommendations for a good tour company or guide with experience that will be able to make my dream come true?

    Thank you for your help

    Alex

    The California Sierra Nevada, as you have noticed, is not a place to find guided trips. The canyons are not amenable to it.

    There are canyons in the San Gabriels that are reasonable for guiding, but I am not sure anyone is guiding there at the moment.

    I think most of the kind of guiding you are looking for takes place in Ouray Colorado and in Utah. Tons of canyon trips available near Zion National Park. And then also in Escalante, Moab, North Wash, Hanksville... etc.
