RENDEZVOUS--April 22nd-26th 2020 

Basecamp at Hanksville City Park (Google Map below)

​

We absolutely love canyoneering rendezvous'. Why you may ask? Because of the people who come and participate. Memories have been created over the years that will last a lifetime. We are always researching and tweaking to try to make the next rendezvous even better than the last. Our staff of amazing people work hard to create an event unlike any other. 

​

People who come to the rendezvous' have very different skill sets. This is to be expected. There are those who come to the rendezvous who are grateful for the evening meals, awesome swag bags, camaraderie of other canyoneers, etc. These individuals are very self motivated and generally have an idea of what they are wanting to tackle (by way of canyons) during the week. Then there are those who come that are newer to the sport, those who are looking for a little more guidance. And of course we have people who are in-between. Honestly this is what makes a rendezvous so fun.  But we have recognized that there are those who are wanting a little more structure and those who are wanting a little less structure. 

​

OPTION #1(Standard) --This option follows the pattern of the past several years. Your rendezvous entrance fee will include (see below)

​

OPTION #2 (Fully Guided)-- A steal of a deal for those at any skill level! (ACA and ACE certified guides) All gear included if you don't have your own, no experience necessary. We will do a small workshop the first part of Thursday, then go right into a canyon that afternoon! In-canyon teaching will be done for those who are interested in expanding their skill set, or simply come along for the adventure.. all canyon planning and shuttles will be taken care of. Also included in your registration will be the following (see below) 

​

OPTION #3 (Spectator)-- For those who want to come along for the comradery, entertainment, and to explore the area, but don't want to go through canyons. They can relax back at camp, hang out or hike with other 'spectators' alike, or help shuttle your canyon group if needed. Dinner, entertainment, and a swag bag is included. Spectators will not be entered into gear raffle.

(DISCLAIMER)

The rendezvous is a gathering of a bunch of like-minded, fun people WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEMSELVES. You are responsible for you, you are adults, unless you have kids, in which case you are responsible for them (not us!) THE INHERENT EXTREME RISKS IN TECHNICAL CANYONEERING, ROCK CLIMBING, HIKING AND GENERAL DESERT ACTIVITIES, ARE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO climbing, rappelling, hiking on steep terrain, cold water swimming, desert living, up and/or down climbing, stemming, chimneying, and other technical aspects of climbing and canyoneering and desert activities. YOU realize that those risks include, but are not limited to : death, falls from or contact with cliffs, rocks, deep slot canyons, slick rock, pot holes, bad decision-making, inattention of belayers or action of other participants, misuse or failure of equipment, anchors which may have become loose or damaged, and freakish accidents which cannot be foreseen. Again, you are responsible for you. The organizers (DarkHorse Leadership and Retreats LLC.)  of the event are just that, organizers. If you choose to canyoneer, you do it at your own risk and if you go into a canyon, you assume the risk and everyone with you assumes, you know what you are doing. HAVE FUN, BE SAFE AND DON’T END UP IN THE MEDIA!
