The most epic adventure in the South West Come join us on the most unforgettable outdoor adventure. There really is no place like it! Black Canyon is a magical place - a grand and epic slot canyon with walls rising thousands between the meandering Colorado River. Isolated, pristine and historic – there are so many unique things that you will see that you will find nowhere else in the world. Our first night is spent camping in the Hoover Dam Recreation area - enjoying an epic sunset over-looking Lake Mead, then we have a gourmet meal and campfire. We head to bed very early as we have to be up by 6am to get packed and ready to start. Early Sunday morning, we meet our canoes and will be driven, through homeland security checkpoints to the base of the historic Hoover Dam. Under the awe-inspiring height of the dam, we launch just yards from the Hoover Dam base. Our journey takes us through the most beautiful and scenic canyon in our part of the country. There is a sauna steam cave, Native American petroglyphs, historical buildings from the 1800’s and one of the best hot springs to soak in in the entire USA. Desert big horn sheep thrive here and we have often spotted multiple herds. We also commonly spy bald eagles, coyotes, red-tail hawks, loons, vultures and lots more. We will be taking all of our gear for a truly backcountry canoe overnight. The isolation, grandeur and peacefulness are invigorating. The trip will include canoe instruction and safety and is suitable for beginner canoers. You will learn how to navigate, use a J stroke, and safely undertake a canoe overnight expedition. After two days of canoeing, we return to our cars for the drive home around lunch time. This trip is like no other in our area - epic, fun and unique.
