raft colorado canyon country
Spend a full day immersed in stunning desert scenery, as you raft through the heart of Dominguez & Escalante National Conservation Area. We will float the calm, tranquil waters of the Gunnison River which flow peacefully through this ancient landscape. These 800 foot deep canyons are home to big horned sheep, collard lizards, and elk.
Our day begins at Honey Rock Landing, one of the few orchards hidden in the canyon depths. If we are luck we may get a tour of the orchard, and an opportunity to pick fresh peaches. Upon launching, you will be awed by the wind-sculped canyon walls, and utter solitude of our natural surroundings. At mid-day we will take a break at the beach, where your guides will prepare a local, farm fresh lunch featuring organic ingredients sourced from North Fork Valley farms and orchards. Before our day is through you will have an opportunity to hike to a waterfall and bathe under its cascading waters. At the end of our day we will load into an air-conditioned van and ride back to Hotchkiss, reflecting on the peace and natural beauty we found in Dominguez & Escalante National Conservation Area.
We loved our family day out with these guys!! Easy going, full of info and safe! We did a float trip with young kids and it was perfect!
