Kayaking on Lake Powell
Date: October 10-15, 2010 (6-day trip)
Instructor: Fred Blackburn
Fee: $1575
Lake Powell: A dreadful mistake or a practical solution for a power-hungry and water-thirsty population? Extraordinarily beautiful—or bizarrely ugly? Is Lake Powell going dry? Is Glen Canyon re-emerging? The answers to these questions are highly subjective. But rolled into just one question, "Is Lake Powell interesting?" the answer is easy: Yes, wildly interesting... and silent and beautiful sea kayaks are the perfect way to encounter the cathedral-like canyons of this fascinating place.
Rainbow Bridge/Escalante: Traveling up-lake by shuttle boat we will first visit spectacular Rainbow Bridge, the world's largest known natural bridge. Then, we'll continue uplake to our base camps in the Escalante. The Escalante arm of Lake Powell and its long side canyons provide remote and rugged hiking and paddling destinations such as Cathedral in the Desert and Davis Gulch. Experience spectacular arches, narrow slot canyons and ancestral Puebloan sites. Explore twisting side canyons by kayak and hike deep into the slickrock terrain beyond the lake. Our outfitter will supply kayaks and gear, kayak instruction and delicious river-style meals.
