A San Juan River journey reveals archaeological and geologic treasures often missed during an exploration of the Four Corners. Paddle this pristine southwest river in a fun/safe environment. Experienced guides teach you to read the river and maneuver your inflatable kayak/paddle raft as you float the San Juan. Kayaks/paddle rafts are stable, easy to learn and perfect for this moderate white water adventure or opt to relax on a guided oar boat.

Visit one of the largest petroglyph panels in the Southwest; walk through a two-story Anasazi cliff dwelling only accessible by river. Includes side trips to scenic Navajo National Monument and Goosenecks of the San Juan State Park; and a drive through Monument Valley. Great meals and peaceful wilderness camping. River equipment provided, Camping equipment provided if needed. Great for first-time paddlers!
