| no partners | | Found a great weather window and free weekend so decided to check this one off my list. We rented kayaks from Blazin Paddles at the Hoover Dam Lodge and were on the water a little after 8:00 am. Checked out the dam and then paddled down to Gold Strike hot spring. Hiked a bit up the canyon to check out the pools and soaked in a few pools. Kayaked back upstream to Sauna Cave and stopped at another hot spring just south of sauna cave where water was too hot to get in. Then we went to Boy Scout canyon and explored and bit and ate snacks. Paddled down to Arizona Hot Springs and hiked up the canyon to the springs and the slots. Hiked back down to the river and started our long paddle down to Emerald Cave. Saw tons of birds on the water and hardly anyone else.
Got to Emerald around 3:00 p.m. and checked it out and then paddled down to Willow where we got done around 3:30 pm. Perfect timing for our 4:00 pickup and shuttle back to Hoover Lodge where we parked.
Obviously a long day but dang this stretch of river is beautiful. Definitely want to come back again and do an overnight. |
