Escalante River Canyoneering & Packrafting [Video]
Join us on an 11 day adventure on the Escalante River area of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in southern Utah. We explore the Egypt 3 slot canyon, one of the most dramatic and narrow in the area. We also check out Neon Canyon and its spectacular Golden Cathedral.
Then, after shuttling our cars 50 miles to end of the Hole-in-the-Rock road, we start our packrafting float down the Escalante River, all the way to Lake Powell. Along the way, we stop to explore the deep, dark and narrow Ringtail slot canyon and scramble up steep exposed slopes to access slick rock in the high country (see "big horn trail" and "Yurt Dome" in Steve Allen's book "Canyoneering 3", map 29).

The South Nahanni River flows 565 kilometers through remote wilderness from its headwaters in the heart of the Mackenzie Mountains to it’s confluence with the Liard River in Canada’s Northwest Territories. We float it all, on this river Bill Mason called "the greatest canoe trip in the world."

We paddle 180 miles of the Mountain River in packrafts, and then continue another 45 miles down the Mackenzie River to the community of Fort Good Hope, NWT. Over our 15 day journey, we paddle through spectacular mountain scenery, hike up adjacent hills and meet the local wildlife.

The John Day River, located in north central Oregon, made for a great 5-day packrafting adventure with friends last week.
The John River flows 135 miles through remote wilderness from its headwaters in the Nunamiut village of Anaktuvuk Pass, through Alaska’s Brooks Range and Gates of the Arctic National Park, to its confluence with the Koyukuk River, just down stream of the village of Bettles. We float it all over 9 days, with white water up to Class III.
