Here are some of the new and exciting things that are happening at Sheri Griffith River Expedition

Many of you will be receiving your 2008 River Journey catalog in the mail any day now. There are a couple new and exciting things SGRE is doing in 2008.

• Cataract Canyon: Now with New Rapids!

  • For the past 6 years the average flow of the Colorado River has been below normal. This has made Lake Powell's water level become far lower then normal. With this low water elevation Cataract Canyon, which had 20+ rapids drowned out by the Lake, has uncovered five "new" rapids. These are of course not new rapids but several have not been run in the past 25 years!

• We are offering two great Multi-sport packages that combine the great variety of activities available in the Moab area.

  • The 6 day/ 5 night Griffith Extreme Adventure combines, The Hightlights of Cataract Canyon, Canyoneering, Mountian Biking, Sunset Hummer Tour, Scenic Flight over Canyonlands National Park and 3 nights at Gonzo Inn.

  • The 5 day/ 4 night Raft and Resort Adventure combines Wild Westwater Canyon, Horseback riding, Sunset Hummer Tour, Guided Hike to arches, and stays at Gonzo Inn and Red Adventure Cliffs Lodge.

  Including:

  • Writing & Sculpting Adventure with Page Lambert on Westwater Canyon for 5 days. This special trip will explore writing and sculpting as complementary forms of creative expression. Whether journaling or writing professionally, an established artist or just beginning, the natural world unleashes powerful creative energy. Personal writing and sculpting time is woven into the moments between floating down the Colorado River, hiking at your leisure, or relaxing on shore.

Starting in Chilean Patagonia, far beneath the spires and snow-capped crowns of the Andes, the Fu's turquoise waters pass through granite gorges, lush vistas and legendary whitewater.
