canyon hike

Deep ravine walk

A canyon hike is a trek through a canyon—a deep, narrow valley carved by water, typically with steep rock walls.

Such hikes often involve scrambling over boulders, wading through streams, or navigating slot canyons: We did a canyon hike in Zion that required ropes.

The terrain makes canyon hikes more demanding than trail walking.
