$200 is due at the time of registration to hold your spot. The remaining balance of the workshop must be paid no later than 30 days prior to the first day of the workshop. If you fail to do so, your spot in the workshop may be lost, and you will not receive a refund.

Difficulty: Moderate
This workshop will involve some hiking at night, as well as walking over rocks and moving over uneven mountain terrain. We will be visiting one slot canyon that is so narrow that you will be required to carry your pack over your head for a short distance. If you are physically fit and capable of walking 3-4 miles a day, you will have no problem in this workshop.
If you have any concerns about your fitness level for this workshop, please contact me.
