A new twist on our River Runners program sends us into the depths of majestic canyons for some of the region’s best flat water and moving water paddling! River Runners will spend two weeks learning the skills needed to navigate our regional waterways. We’ll captain our own inflatable SUPs and duckies and learn the paddle techniques and terminology needed to safely read river features and navigate obstacles along the way. Our first week will bring us to the warm waters and remote shores of Southwest Colorado’s McPhee Reservoir. Deep canyons and Ponderosa Pine plateaus will be our stomping grounds for a multi-day “surfing” excursion at one of Colorado’s largest reservoirs. You will navigate your watercrafts across the fresh water seas in search of secret swimming coves and driftwood beaches. Our second week takes us deep into the desert for a multi-day self-support river trip on the Lower Gunnison River through Dominguez-Escalante Canyon. We will spend our days paddling beneath the sandstone bluffs and hiking red rock canyons. On our layover day we will even search for hidden swimming holes! This aquatic adventure will send you paddling on epic waterways and sleeping beneath bright blankets of stars on the river’s edge!
