Alrighty, here we have a canyon for the canyon connoisseurs out there, probably one of the best canyons in the bluies! You must be attending Boree log to attend this trip. Aidan, Jeffrey and I will be taking you down Bell Creek, which is one of the few 10/10 canyons in the mountains, yet it feels untouched as it receives so little traffic. Be aware, this canyon comes at no easy cost, you’ll have to embark on a morning of bush bashing with us! The canyon itself has jumps, loooong dark constrictions, deep and cold swims. It doesn’t have abseils, so you don’t need experience with that. It just has a few tricky scrambles and is a very long and cold canyon which is why it is intermediate. If you are a very experienced hiker with no canyoning experience, that’ll do. Otherwise, if you’ve canyoned before – perfect!

- swimmers
