*Quantities vary with trip lengths; use your judgment. Due to cold water temperatures during the spring trips and all year
in the Grand Canyon, a pair of wet suit "booties" can be nice. You should
bring an extra sun visor which can serve as a spare hat. Everything
you
bring must fit into an "ammo can" and two rubber river bags about the size of
large pillow cases. Detailed information will be sent when you book
your trip. Rental EquipmentWe have a limited supply of rental sleeping kits for Grand Canyon trips which include a sleeping bag, pad, and ground cloth -- all packed into a waterproof bag. There is a nominal charge. Rental tents are also available. Camping gear is included in the price of all Utah river trips. What Not to BringPlease do not bring firearms, pets, or valuable jewelry, electrical items like blow dryers, curling irons, or camera battery chargers. We do not carry a generator on any of our trips. The only cash you will need will be for beer, soft drinks, small "last minute" items, or boatman gratuities. Where You Will Live and SleepA river trip is an outdoor experience. All of our trips require camping out. There are no improved campgrounds along the river. We set up a portable sanitation facility each evening. It's almost the same as you have at home except the view is usually much better and it doesn't flush. Otherwise, it is a very comfortable arrangement. You don't need "mountain man" camping skills to participate in one of our trips, but you should be prepared and comfortable with eating, sleeping, and living in the outdoors. Bathing in the river is appropriate, some guests bring their own "SunShowers". What the Weather is LikeBe prepared for hot (75-115 F degrees) weather during June,
July, and August. You can expect cooler temperatures (55-90
F degrees) during April, May, September, and October. August
is usually the wettest month (short-lived but intense thunder
showers). A good quality rain suit (pants and jacket with
hood) will keep you comfortable during stormy weather. What You Will EatMost trips include all meals beginning with lunch on the
first day and ending with lunch on the last day (exceptions
are Grand Canyon runs and the Green River one-day trip).
Menus include ample portions of a nutritious mix of fruit,
meats, and vegetables. About FishingCatfish are plentiful in the Green and Upper Colorado Rivers.
There are some trout in the Colorado below Glen Canyon Dam.
If you bring a rod, please choose a compact backpacker model.
A license is required. Fee schedules and purchase locations
will be forwarded upon request. Which Trip to ChooseEach of our trips offers differences in terrain and whitewater.
On a Grand Canyon trip, you will encounter intense whitewater
and more of it. If you think you are "scared to death" of
rapids and don't want to experience the "big stuff" right
away, you should consider the Desolation Canyon run for
your first adventure. The Cataract Canyon trips provide
a very high level of excitement during the high-water runoff
season, generally the end of May through the first couple
of weeks of June; however, only one day of this trip is
spent running the rapids. Later in the year, Cataract's
rapids are fun but much more tame. What Risks Are InvolvedAs owners of Moki Mac, we are proud to host an excellent
safety record. We personally screen and train our employees.
Each boatman receives extensive instructions on safety precautions
and first aid training. Our river adventures take place
in rugged, remote "wilderness" settings. You should be in
good general health to participate. Non-swimmers can go.
We provide Coast Guard approved life jackets for your safety. About Age LimitationsFor Grand Canyon and high water Cataract Canyon trips,
we suggest a minimum age of 12 years. On other runs, the
limit is 8 years of age. However, children as young as six
have done well on the Desolation Canyon trip. Ask yourself,
what kind of previous camping experience has the child had?
Use your considered judgment on the child's preparedness.
On the other end, folks well into their 70's have floated
with us. What Is Included in the Trip PriceWe furnish all food, eating utensils, two waterproof bags,
a watertight "ammo can" for your camera and day use items,
and a Coast Guard approved life jacket. You bring your personal
clothing. Some pre- and post-trip transportation, accommodations,
meals, and camping gear are included for certain trips.
Trip prices do not include boatman gratuities. BeveragesWe supply plenty of drinking water, lemonade, breakfast
drinks, etc., on each trip. Please bring your own canned
beer or soft drinks (maximum two cans per person, per day
on the oar-powered Grand Canyon trips). If you bring liquor,
please transfer it into plastic bottles. Beer and soft drinks
may be purchased before your trip in Green River, Utah,
or Marble Canyon, Arizona. If you choose a Grand Canyon
trip that begins at Phantom Ranch, you may order beverages
ahead and we will bring them down the river to meet you
( you probably won't want to carry any more than you have
to down the trail!). Charter and Group RatesReduced rates are available for school, club, church, or
special-interest groups on some trips. Customized trip lengths
and itineraries for some trips can be arranged. Please contact
us for help in arranging your charter trip or for group
rate information. Additional InformationContact us:
