Pre-Rondy Desert to PNW course!
Wild Sky Adventure Guides is excited to announce that we are continuing our long term sponsorship of the PNW Canyoning Rondy! Wild Sky has always believed that it is the job of all canyoners to protect our canyons from invasive species. That’s what we mean when we say that Wild Sky sponsor’s the Rondy. We pay for the annual expenses to supply all of the decontamination stations at the Rondy!
As part of our commitment to safer canyoning, and our sponsorship of the Rondy, we are are announcing a 2 day Desert to PNW canyoning course!
