Trip Overview
Why paddle just one day in Black Canyon, when you could stay overnight, and sleep out under the stars? You need only show up with a smile and ready to have some fun! The lower Colorado river is moving flat-water and it is perfect for beginners or seasoned paddlers alike. On this 2-day tour of Black Canyon, you will have plenty of time to roam free. You'll hike and scramble over large boulders, making your way through narrow slot canyons to hidden geothermal pools. Spend hours relaxing and soaking in the natural hot tubs. Paddle into rain caves, and take time to study ancient rock art left by the Mohave tribes who inhabited the area. Many sorts of wildlife live in the area. You may see Desert Big Horn sheep, bald eagles, coyotes, red-tail hawks, and turkey vultures. Anglers can bring a rod & reel, and try their hand at some world-class striped bass fishing. Fresh meals will be enjoyed around the campfire, and evenings are free to relax, read, hike, or explore on your own.
