Grand Canyoneering in Arizona

After a really busy summer for The Southern Terrain with multiple summits of Mt. Whitney, Mt. Kilimanjaro and lots of local rock climbing in San Diego we are all back and ready for a busy Fall.  Our Fall season brings on trips to Catalina Island for kayaking and hiking and trips to Northern Arizona for Canyoneering adventures. 

Since it's a good time to go Canyoneering Adventure 16 has once again graciously invited us into their stores for presentations on this great sport and also to talk about the trips we run.  We've developed an exciting program where we will go through the sport of Canyoneering.  This presentation will highlight several of the great areas in California, Utah and Arizona that are excellent places for canyon exploring.  
The most critical part of Canyoneering is knowing what equipment is required and how to use it safely.  We will go through all the equipment and have a hands on session involved various knots that are used where the audience can learn and practice these knots on pieces of cord and webbing.  The final section of our presentation will go through the itinerary we've created for our trips and conclude with a short video showing the incredible canyons that we are set up to take you to.

The Southern Terrain Teams up With Adventure 16



The Southern Terrain has recently began working in a partnership with the locally based San Diego company Adventure 16 (www.adventure16.com), a leader in providing outdoor clothing and equipment to adventure enthusiasts.  One of the goals of A16 is to provide their customers with opportunities to learn about local, domestic and international adventure tours and this is where TST comes into the picture. 

Starting in the month of July Kevin and Andrew will visit several Adventure 16 stores to do informative presentations on different adventure locations that we have experienced.  These are informative sessions that go over the history of the area, tips on how to get there, and information on "must dos" when you do arrive at your destination.  With our experience in taking clients to these locations we have learned all the details and the best way to make your trip worthwhile whether you use us as your guide or go on your own.
The first dates that we have lined up with Adventure 16 are July 6th and July 8th.  On Tuesday our presentation will be at the San Diego A16 and on Thursday we will be presenting at the Oceanside location.  All presentations in July are about Catalina Island and will start at 6:30 pm with a happy hour hosted by Redwood Creek followed by our presentation at 7:00 pm. This is a great opportunity to come into the store relax with a glass of wine and find out more about the amazing Catalina Island and the Trans Catalina Trail.

After the presentation there will be plenty of time available to ask questions about Catalina and also how TST can help get you there.  If you have any questions or comments about other trips that we can offer this is also an opportunity to ask.  We really look forward to strengthening this alliance with A16 and each month stay tuned for more presentations in their stores.
