GREEN RIVER, UTAH (SOAR) -- The Green is Utah's major river. We paddle an exciting 140 km stretch from Sand Wash through Desolation and Gray Canyons, which are often deeper than the Grand Canyon, to our take out near the town of Green River. Cutting through spectacular redrock scenery, we will find verdant landscapes, colourful rock formations and a variety of wildlife including deer, bighorn sheep, bear and beaver. We take frequent hikes into the many side canyons. We’ll see the remains of a pioneer ranch, evidence of an ancient Indian civilization in the form of granaries and petroglyphs and perhaps dinosaur fossils. The river is suited to both novice and experienced paddlers. We start with paddling instruction. The route begins with easy current, then we see small rapids which build in intensity as the trip progresses. By the final two days, we’re ready for some exciting bigger drops. Beautiful white, sandy beaches offer ideal camping sites at the end of each day, where we will relax and watch the play of light on the canyon walls, enjoy a sumptuous dinner and lie beneath a star-studded sky. Please note: minimum number 10, maximum number 12. Trip run in co-operation with Canyon Expeditions/Ross River Company.
