The first day paddling the rapids…with a journey downstream to Travertine Falls, where you will enjoy a short hike to a beautiful natural waterfall, ideal for photographs. During the river journey, our river guides will take you to a few pristine beaches along the Colorado River for relaxation and great photo taking.

The group will continue rafting to Spencer Canyon, where you will camp for the night. Spencer Canyon is where you’ll enjoy a fully prepared steak dinner served with salad, corn on the cob, baked beans and assorted non-alcoholic beverages.
Start the day with a hot breakfast prepared and served by the river guides and an optional short hike before loading the boats and packing the gear for the second day of the trip. From this point, you will board powered rafts and head down the river.
Mid way through the trip as the canyon walls surround and inspire you, the river is mostly smooth water. The series of rapids are not extreme and are very moderate (please note, age limit restrictions of 8 years old and up only).
