In an effort to inform the public about canyoneering safety the Coconino County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue organization teamed up with guidebook author Todd Martin to create a poster that will be widely distributed around Northern Arizona gear shops and canyoneering destinations.
We say Bravo! Thanks for the hard work and we hope to promote this idea to other SAR organizations around the Colorado Plateau.
