Cerberus Canyon, Death Valley National Park

Cerberus Canyon in Death Valley's Black Range lives up to its mythological name — a demanding multi-fork canyon system with dramatic rappels and the sweeping Badwater Basin views that define this premier winter canyoneering destination. The canyon's geology and wall colors are spectacular in the winter light.

Best visited in the winter months when temperatures are manageable. Death Valley canyoneering season is approximately November through March. Cerberus, Charon, and Deimos make up an exceptional trio of Black Range canyons for a multi-day Death Valley technical trip. Refer to ropewiki.com for current beta.
