CUSTOM PADDLE TRIPS

The most popular trips are outlined above. If you don’t see the exact combination of services you want, just ask. We are happy to customize a trip to suit your needs on the Colorado or other western rivers.

 


NEEDLES TO CASTLE ROCK (No longer available*)

First day is Needles to Park Moabi, and the second day is Topock Gorge. This is our most popular two-day trip, since you make camp only once at Park Moabi. Paddle back into your camp from upstream on the first day and out of your camp on the second. If you have reserved a Standard Trip, we will bring you back to your camp at the end of the second day, and we also transport you to your launch site on the first day. Minimum 2 people.

Cost $68.00 (+5.6% tax) per person.

Groups of 10 or more with timely payment may take a 10% discount.

REVERSE TWO-DAY TRIP (No longer available*)

The itinerary and scenery are the same as Needles to Castle Rock — we just reverse the order. Paddle Topock Gorge the first day, then the shorter, Needles to Park Moabi section on the second. The reverse trip is nice for people who need to get started home early on the second day. Minimum 2 people.

Cost $74.00 (+5.6% tax) per person.

Groups of 10 or more with timely payment may take a 10% discount.

*Tent camping is no longer welcome along this portion of the river. Unfortunately, this is out of our control and do not know when, if ever, the situation may change.
