Is the Colorado River going to have water?Sheri Griffith Expeditions has never had to cancel a river trip on The Colorado River because of the water levels. This includes both very high water and very low water. The Colorado River runs all year round with the highest water being in May and June when spring runoff occurs.

What kind of people take river trips?
People who want to play outdoors! People who want to enjoy the outdoors without all the pre-planning, buying gear, figuring it out, and having to work at getting comfortable in nature. Our guests come from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, careers, ages and experiences. Ages vary from 4 years to 84 years old. Experience ranges from never camped before to grew up in the wilderness.

What about the food?
We provide and prepare all the meals. Our guides are great cooks. They do all of the work of preparing high quality, healthy meals made with fresh ingredients. There is a variety of fruits and vegetables, and meat and non-meat choices. The evening meals are grilled and baked to perfection. We accommodate a variety of diets and will assist with dietary restrictions as well.

What about camping?
Our camps are typically on sandy beaches along the riverbank where you roll-out sleeping bags, pitch a tent if you wish or sleep under the stars. Experienced guides help you make your camp for the night and for the inexperienced will teach you how to be comfortable in the outdoors. We host many people each year who spend their first night outdoors with us. We have top quality tents and sleeping kits for rent if you need them.

What about toilet facilities?
The toilet on the river is not much different than what you have at home, except the view is much better. We bring a portable toilet that is set up in a private location in camp and then packed up the next morning secure on the rafts. During the day it is provided as needed. There is a portable facility for washing hands with soap and water.

Can I bathe?
Certainly! We have a tremendous supply of water - the river! The water temperature varies on the time of year but it's always refreshing. We suggest that you bring biodegradable soap. Guides will help you select a private spot for your personal wash-up. Some guests bring a solar shower for warmer water.

What about Creepy Crawlers?
Let's start with snakes! We rarely see snakes on our trips because there aren't many of them. The few there are usually stay high in the rocks and away from our campsites. They don't like us! Insects are of little concern on the river, but a little bug repellant is a good idea. Spring on the Green River does have mosquitoes and a few no-see-ems here and there. There's a bug or two on the ground but we'll teach you how to stay away from them.

What do I wear?
Comfortable clothes that can get wet. Swimsuits, quick drying shorts and T-shirts. Bring long pants and long-sleeve shirts if you need protection from the sun. Old clothes are best, the kind that you don't care if they stain (because they will) or tear on a hike. You'll want shoes that can get wet, teva-type sandals that are secure on your feet are good. We'll send a complete packing list that details everything you'll need. We also have a store in our Moab river complex where you can buy t-shirts, sunglass holders, waterproof cameras and suntan lotion.
