Story

We had an awesome time at Wildwire, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We did the medium route. By the end of it, Savannah was a bit tired and scared. It unnerved her a bit because when we go canyoneering, the rope is tight, but at Wildwire, the gear is always loose. Our guide was a lot of fun and we had a nice lunch and enjoyed the spectacular views at the top before heading down.
