Colorado River Campsite
3 NIGHTS
Location: Flagstaff
Incredible scenery; wild rushing river; millions of stars. Camps will be on beaches on the banks of the Colorado River. Participants will set up a sleeping pad and sleeping bag in their sleeping area. We carry tents in case of rain, high winds or cold temperatures. Tents will always be available but are rarely set up in good weather as everyone typically enjoys sleeping under the stars and often consider this as one of the highlights of the trip. NOTE: Sleeping bags are laundered by the program provider before every trip.
