Kayak the Colorado River
Many epic adventures in our little corner of the world require one or more of the following . . .
Years and years on a National Park Service waiting list.
Tough to obtain permits from the local BLM office in Kanab.
Intense preparation for the physical demands that lie ahead.
A vehicle and the necessary skill to handle mile after mile of deep sand.
Here's one that doesn't require any of the above: Kayaking the Colorado River in Glen Canyon, where the crystal clear waters run below the towering sandstone cliffs. This extraordinary 17-mile stretch starts at Glen Canyon Dam and meanders under the Horseshoe Bend overlook before ending where the Colorado River enters Marble Canyon at Lees Ferry.
