Bucket list trip!
This is not a hiking or backpacking trip.
This is an overnight via kayak on the Colorado River.
You must be able to manage yourself and your transportation. This trip has minimal guidance. It may be possible to plan ridesharing by communicating with other attendees.
The trip leader will not be traveling back to California after this event and is unable to facilitate rideshares.
As this trip is out of state, communication is critical. If you are attending but have not connected with the group in Page prior to Lees Ferry, you will be left behind. There is sporadic phone service or no service. Therefore, if something comes up, you must communicate with the group as early as possible.

The hiking group does not certify the expertise of the organizers, the event or assistant organizers (hike leaders) and…We are NOT responsible for any possible losses or injuries.
