Colorado River Canoeing Info Posted

Posted by Prescott on August 16, 2010

The September High Adventure is canoeing Ruby-Horsethief Canyon on the Colorado River, starting from around Fruita and going into Utah.  This is a Class I-II run with only a couple of wave trains.  However, the scenery is stunning.  It’s like you are in the Grand Canyon.  This is a three-day weekend trip.  We will camp on Thursday night near Grand Junction and spend two nights on the river.  Here is a link to a well known Paddling Website with details of the location.

Click Here for the Camping & Activities Page on this website for more details of the trip.

Right now we are targeting 12 participants, ideally 4 adults and 8 boys, but we have some flexibility.  So sign-up right away.  All participants must be tested swimmers and all Scouts must have or have completed the in-water portions of Swimming Merit Badge.

We will leave Thursday, September 23rd and return Sunday September 26th, 2010.   Costs are probably about $30 per person, but mostly we will be spreading the cost of food, fuel, and anything else among those participating.

The sign-up page is now online and functioning, so sign up now.
