Utah - 7 Day
The Rock Creek Ranch overlooks Desolation Canyon
of
the Green River. After two days of exploring the mountains a short
flight
will take you to the beginning of your river trip. There we will trade
our
pants for shorts, and say goodbye to the cowboys and hello to the river
guides. Now it's their turn to share some favorite places with you.
Despite
the name Desolation, the river surroundings offer green cottonwood
groves,
white sand beaches, and clear-water side streams. The Green River
splits the
10,000 foot high Tavaputs Plateau and forms a gorge deeper than the
Grand
Canyon. Your guide's selection of nightly camps will make good use of
these
features. Off river, abandoned homesteads mark the end of a
frontiersman's
dream, and prehistoric Indian petroglyphs the end of a civilization.
Includes: Transportation to/from ranch and river from Green River, Utah; full-course meals; horseback riding;jeep tours and rafting. Camping gear rental available. Dates: June - August Difficulty: Easy |
