River Travel

Green/Desolation and San Juan River.
2+ weeks
White Water Canoeing


Travel on San Juan


Rolling in Desolation Canyon the most remote Place in the lower 48
Instructors were very creative in class, this is hydraulics class on the bottom of a canoe.

We did a lot of white water each day. Most were class 2 and some class 3. It is a different story going through "The Bubbly" in a canoe.

I was able to spend a lot of time in the solo boat. It was a very fun challenge working in this thing.

This is part of a swift water rescue class. Don't worry the big hydraulics and holes or not in the picture. We are not that big of panzies.

My favorite place. In the middle of a desert, the most incredible and unique oasis. I am not even going to try to explain how amazing it was.

I love throwing rocks. One evening lots of people joined me and we skeet shot rocks. One person through a huge rock up and we all tried to hit it. 3 hours not wasted.



Yeah there is quick sand. Hilarious but suprisingly scary. 3 hours wasted.


At the end of 200+ mile venture on the river.
