River Camp
On the river we camp at riverside sites. We pack all gear in, and out, each trip. To protect the river environment we carry out all trash and are careful not to pollute the river. Our guides will instruct you on washing and sanitation procedures for using our portable toilet facilities. We ask that you cooperate by following these procedures to minimize our impact on the river and canyon.

Our 3 day trips provide the best opportunity to relax and enjoy the moment. Late mornings drinking coffee by the river, watching birds fly through the canyon, beautiful side hikes, and of course exciting whitewater.
