Overview
Our journey will begin with participants flying into Salt Lake City, Utah. Once we have all participants we will drive south to Green River to camp at the State Park. We will paddle a scenic stretch of flat water that will follow the rolling desert hills of eastern Utah into the majestic depths of Labyrinth Canyon. The friendly waterways will promote skill-building and teamwork as participants learn to paddle through the desert landscape. Red cliffs, desert sunsets, and warm days await this memorable experience. Upon finishing the river section, teens will then head to Moab, Utah for showers before they begin two days of Canyoneering! We will finish our trip with a night at a hotel in Salt Lake City before flights home.
