Lower Glen Canyon river trip - May, 2008 Photo contributions by Norma Miller except where noted Trip
initiated by Norma Miller and Casey Stakauskas as part of their
quest to complete all legs of the Colorado River in Arizona.
Trip participants: Chuck and Cheryl Kline, Steve Moore, Tony
Peeters, Casey and Norma. The shuttle included all kayaks
and equipment and was provided by www.coloradoriverdiscovery.com
($23 a person plus $20 per watercraft and gear). Such a
deal. We decided to do an overnighter on this 15-mile
downriver adventure from a location below Glen Cyn. Dam to Lees
Ferry. There are three or four designated campsites en route
as well as designated picnic areas, all maintained by the park
service though no extra fee is required. Since we were there
on a weekday, finding an open site was easy. They are FCFS,
no reservations taken. Plenty of blue water and awesome
high-walled canyon scenery. Nice beaches to stop and hike to
petroglyphs or side canyons. Shuttle captains provided a
good historic and point-of-interest tour en route to the drop-off
point. Let's do this again next year. |
