Welcome to our registration site! the Darkhorse North Wash Canyon Rendezvous is proudly organized and hosted by Darkhorse Leadership and Retreats!
During our canyoneering rendezvous, we will spend several days descending great canyons, eating delicious hearty meals, and meeting amazing people. The canyons of the North Wash are considered "nature's playground". Come rappel down sheer walls, scramble up slick rock, down climb dark chambers, shimmy through skinny slots, wade through chilly water, and hike through beautiful river beds. Of course the canyons are the main event, but we also offer workshops at basecamp and in the canyons for those who are looking to expand their skill set. Each evening (in addition to the food and great company) we have live music, nightly entertainment, and also host friendly competitions where competitors walk away with gear from our sponsors. Have you heard about our gear raffle? We are sponsored by the greatest companies who provide us with canyoneering gear, ropes, packs, and other swag to give away. This gives us the chance to share our favorite pieces of gear with you and spread some love.
The Rendezvous is open to ALL skill levels and experience. We believe that the diversity among our participants creates the perfect atmosphere for our event. 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.
From newbie to canyon expert.. you will be glad you came.
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.
We are excited for the upcoming spring rendezvous. We work hard to run a smooth, organized, and laid back atmosphere. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!!

(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!
Canyoneering Hub
