Whitewater Raft and Inflatable Kayak the Colorado River

In the midst of Canyonlands National Park, at the confluence of the Colorado and Green Rivers, the spectacular  Cataract Canyon begins a winding, 100 mile journey past towering cliffs and remote, red rock canyons.  This action packed five-day journey will see us through exciting class III and IV rapids, with visits to ancient Indian petroglyphs, waterfalls and swimming holes.  From our campsites, we'll enjoy delicious meals and evenings spent under a brilliant canopy of stars. 

Hike and Canyoneer in Moab and Arches National Park

Experience the magic of carved and whimsical red rock arches, polished, slide rock canyons and spectacular, sinous water carved slot passageways.  We'll hike through a labyrinth of spectacular corridors of sandstone to hidden waterfalls and natural waterslides.  Then we'll have the opportunity to experience this unique environment by spending the day repelling down waterfalls into cool, shaded slot canyons.

Hike and Rock Climb Telluride

A short distance from the red rocks of Moab, finds us in the beautiful San Juan Mountains, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, near the famous gold and silver mining town of Telluride.  From our base camp here, we'll day hike through spectacular flower filled meadows and breathtaking mountain landscapes.  We'll conclude our adventure learning the fundamentals of rock climbing under the auspices of professional guides for two adrenalin-filled days.  We'll start climing beginner routes, perfecting our belaying and rappelling techniques, and then move onto more challenging climbs of our personal choice and abilities.  Our final night's banquet in the ski town Park City, Utah provides a fitting finale to our 15-day adventure.
