Canyoneering October 16-21 Moab area
My wife and I will be visiting the Moab/Arches/Canyonlands area 10/16-10/21 and would really like to do some canyoneering. We have only done one canyon before so rather than exploring on our own I thought I would check and see if someone experienced would mind letting us tag along with them. We do rock climb frequently and are experienced at rappelling but we certainly have a lot to learn still about canyoneering.
Alternatively if anyone has a good recommendation for a canyon that some newbie canyoneers could tackle that would also be very much appreciated. We will have a 70m rope and rappel devices with us if that matters.

X2. Elephant butte is an awesome route!
If rock climbing is your sport but wanna mix it up a bit with canyoneering - Elephant Butte can't be beat! Plus you knock off a high-point off the Eternal list of peakbagging. (It's the highest point in Arches NP).

x3 for Elephant Butte. While not exactly canyoneering it might be the funniest route inside the park.
And here is the video for U-Turn

Thanks for the suggestions. U-turn and Elephant Butte were both a lot of fun.
We also ended up doing Pool Arch Canyon which we enjoyed as well.
