Southwestern US
A list of places we go to in the Southwestern United States.
Black Canyon Hot Springs and Hoover Dam
Prime Big Horn Sheep viewing during March and April
Join us for three days of paddling on the Colorado River where it flows through Black Canyon just below Hoover Dam. Viewing the huge dam from a tiny kayak is quite inspiring. This is a beautiful stretch of river with Hot Springs, Waterfalls and a Sauna Cave to enjoy. Big Horn Sheep, Bald Eagles and Ospreys also inhabit the area. This is a great paddle to learn to be self-sufficient in a kayak. Participants will be responsible for their own camping gear, food and water.
DeliciousMorro Bay: 3-Day Memorial Day Weekend
Saturday, May 23 - Monday, May 25, 2009
Sponsored by the Valley Wide Kayak Club
Let's get out of town for the Memorial Day weekend and explore Morro Bay State Park.
We have reserved one campsite at the edge of the campground for the holiday weekend.
The park includes Morro Rock Ecological Reserve, the outstanding Morro Bay State Park Museum of Natural History, and the Heron Rookery Natural Preserve.
Squaw Lake Weekend on the Lower Colorado River
Join us on this great flat water paddle on the Colorado River just above the Imperial Dam. We provide the transportation from San Diego to the river, then we launch our boats and paddle up river to our boat-in campsite.
We will spend our days exploring the many reed-lined channels and off-river lakes in the area.
We will spend our evenings around the warmth of the campfire sharing stories and tall tales.
Thanksgiving on the Colorado River
Wednesday - Sunday, November 24-28, 2010
Join us for our annual Thanksgiving adventure on the water. We spend four glorious days paddling flat water on the lower Colorado River.
This is a great opportunity to learn to be self-sufficient in a kayak. For those novice kayakers, we teach you how to pack all the gear you need for our multi-day adventure. Each kayak holds approximately 2.5 backpacks worth of gear.
