Paddle ‘n’ Peaches: A Sweet River Adventure!
Jump into an unforgettable adventure that blends paddling fun with the delicious charm of farm-fresh peaches! Paddle ‘n’ Peaches takes you down the stunning Gunnison River, winding through the red rock cliffs of the Dominguez-Escalante Canyon and straight into riverside camping bliss.
Your journey kicks off on Monday, where you’ll learn to master river paddling, read the water like a pro, and work as a team to stay safe and have a blast. On Tuesday, it’s time to hit the water! Paddle 5 scenic miles to Honey Rock Landing, where a farm-to-table feast and a cozy orchard-side camp await.
Wednesday is all about peaches and play! Take a hands-on tour of the farm, pick your own peaches, and load up on tasty treats. Then, paddle to your next riverside campsite, where you’ll discover hidden swimming holes, sandy beaches, and plenty of time to soak up the fun.
On the final day, we’ll paddle to the take-out and head back to Telluride, where you’ll turn those juicy peaches into homemade jam—your own sweet souvenir of an amazing adventure!
Get ready for a week of paddling, peaches, and memories you’ll never forget!
