Itinerary

Day 1: Hoover Dam Launch to campsite

Stop At: Hoover Dam Access Road, Boulder City, NV 89109
We will descend close to 1100' in elevation to the base of Hoover Dam where we will launch on the Colorado River in the Black Canyon.
Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Gold Strike Canyon Hot Springs, Las Vegas, NV
First stop will be Sauna Cave, where we will explore a natural steam-bath. Then move onto Gold Strike where numerous hot springs are hidden far into the reaches of the canyon.
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Arizona Hot Springs, 601 Nevada Way, Las Vegas, NV 89005-2488
Back at the kayaks, you'll paddle downriver toward Lone Palm Canyon, past waterfalls, and arrive at Boyscout Canyon. Explore the narrow slot canyons in search of the perfect hot spring. When you find it, you can enjoy yourself, knowing that your campsite is just downriver.

A short paddle brings us to our camp for the evening, where our accommodations for the evening include a starry night sky, and the smell of a campfire. Enjoy a hearty dinner and good conversation, as the sounds of the river bubble gently in the background. After dinner, enjoy a long soak in a quiet hot spring before crawling into your warm sleeping bag for the evening.
Duration: 5 hours

Meals included:
• Lunch: A hearty boxed lunch is served on the first day.
• Dinner: Let our guides prepare you the best dinner you have ever had on a camping trip!
Accommodation included: Tent camping on the river.

Day 2: Campsite to Willow Beach

Stop At: Arizona Hot Springs, 601 Nevada Way, Las Vegas, NV 89005-2488
Wake up to the smells of hot coffee, and the sounds of birds chirping. Enjoy a healthy breakfast as the sun slowly rises on the steep canyon walls. Morning hiking is optional for those wanting to explore, or you can savor the serenity of the quiet morning while soaking in the hot springs.

Today is filled with kayaking, and as soon as camp is packed up, you'll continue downriver.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Emerald Cove, Willow Beach, AZ 86445, USA
As we travel down river, Weeping Springs Cove appears, along with a gravity fault, and your guide will explain the historical features of the canyons as you paddle along. Keep your eyes open for Desert Bighorn sheep; you are likely to see a few perched high on the cliffs. Peregrine falcons, eagles, coyotes, foxes, and lizards can also be spotted.

As you approach the historic cableways and catwalk, you will learn about the gauging station and the purpose it served. Kayak into Emerald Cave for a fantastic photo of the shimmering green waters. Take a short break on Emerald Cove and go for a refreshing swim before having lunch on the beach.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Willow Beach Marina, 25804 N Willow Beach Rd, Willow Beach, AZ 86445-9544
Kayak toward the historic homesite, where you can explore the trail to the ruins if time allows. Fantastic views await at the top, so remember to bring your camera! Just a short paddle downriver past the fish hatchery is your final destination, at the Willow Beach marina.
