This four day trip includes all canoeing and camping equipment you need, transportation, and food, and is led by outdoor professionals. \u00a0On this trip your canoe serves as your vehicle, playground, and suitcase all rolled into one. This trip begins 10 miles below the Hoover Dam and you will paddle upstream between towering cliffs and looming canyon walls\u00a0while exploring side canyons and natural hot springs.\u00a0 Be prepared for a VERY physically demanding upriver paddle, but the incredible landscape, sauna cave, and view while sleeping under the desert stars are all worth the hard work.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer a kayak as your vessel, the outdoor professionals at <strong>UC San Diego Recreation<\/strong> have an excursion that will be unforgettable.\u00a0 This 3-night trip will also take you up the Colorado River between its towering walls and will provide exploration opportunities in Goldstrike Canyon\u2019s heated waterfall. \u00a0This adventure will include time to explore many hot springs, which is a great way to relax after much hard work to get there. Your outback guides will provide all of the necessary camping gear, food, and transportation. Be ready for a tough, but very rewarding adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these incredible outings are open to the public and are an affordable way to explore new scenery from either a canoe or kayak.
