Slash & Splash The Sequel – Night Canyon

Howdy yall,

It’s Friday the 13th, the moon’ll be gone, the canyon will be dark, and the vibe will be straight-up unhinged.

Jason and I (Hamza) are running a night canyon through Serendipity Canyon on Friday the 13th of March, kicking off from Cathedral of Ferns campground.

And because doing a canyon in the dead of night wasn’t theatrical enough, we’re making it a costume run.

The theme?   “Grim Gorges & Canyon Killers”

Slasher villains, serial killers, skull-faced rope ghouls. If it looks like it crawled out of a VHS tape or a tomb, it fits. Just make sure your costume is safe to abseil in.

Trip Details:

○ Date: Friday 13/03/26
○ Meeting Location: Cathedral of Ferns Campground (north end, near the bathrooms)
○ Meeting Time: 8:00 PM [Friday]
