Colorado River Trip

k1While on the topic of cool adventures here’s one for all you adrenalin junkies that like to white water.

I was an active kayaker from 1975-1980 (Class IV+ Int.) and am looking to get back to it in summer 2010. I had the opportunity to go on a Colorado River trip in March 2008 but due to finances and other issues had to forgo that chance.

From what I understand with the lottery system it can take 2-3 years to get a permit from the National Park Service to do the trip. As such I’m either going to apply for one next fall for the 2011 season or will be looking for someone who has a permit for that time period and is looking to fill the slots.

The trip is about 250 miles (400km) in length and about 20 days seems to be the average time period for being on the river.

Shoot me an email if you’re interested or have a trip already scheduled and are looking for additional folks to come along for the ride!

Enjoy the video!
