| no partners | | This kayak trip starts at Lee's Ferry. The big motor rafts bring the tourists downriver from Glen Canyon Dam and deadhead back upstream, so they will take you and your kayak upstream, for a price. It's a flat-water float trip, NO rapids, but can be dangerous nevertheless.
This is a fun trip to do in two or three days, since there are several camping areas with restrooms. However, beware of the wind. During the spring, the wind can blow upstream pretty fiercely. Lots of petroglyphs, too.
Just in case you just woke up from total amnesia, or are from Mars, this trip is on the Colorado River in northern Arizona, and Lee's Ferry is the location of the put-in for Grand Canyon trips. This Glen Canyon trip is UPSTREAM from Lee's Ferry and does not require a permit. Going downstream from the Ferry is called GRAND CANYON, however, and does require a permit, and also a lot of skill, and is over 200 miles long. (Or do a commercial trip.) |
