| | | 6 days of mutli-sport activities and Whitewater Rafting on the Colorado River |
Trip Description: |
Griffith’s Extreme Adventure Experience:
The 6 day/ 5
night Griffith Extreme Adventure is an active
vacation with a combination of thrills and chills! From biking through the
legendary slickrock terrain to jaw-dropping rappelling to roaring whitewater
rapids, this trip is not for the faint of heart. Activities include:
canyoneering from arches, mountain biking famous trails, a jet boat ride down
the Colorado River, class V whitewater of Cataract Canyon, and ends with a
scenic flight over Canyonlands National Park!
What's
Included:
- Highlights of Cataract Canyon:
3 days/ 2 nights on the Colorado River.
- WHITEWATER! That is what the 3 day Highlights of
Cataract Canyon is about. You will encounter rapids with names like Capsize,
North Sea's, Little Niagara, Satan's Gut and Ben Hurt. As you continue
downstream the rapids become more intense until you enter the Big Drops the
steepest descent on the entire Colorado River.
-
Mountain Biking on one of Moab's famous slickrock trails.
-
Klondike Bluffs is a 10-15 mile half day ride with moderate climbs and varied
terrain. This ride offers bikers a good introduction to Moab's famous slickrock
terrain. We'll also view dinosaur tracks along our route. At the half way point
a short walk will take us into Arches National Park and to breathtaking views
of the red bluffs and arches below. The ride back is mostly down hill with lots
of dips and rolls. Lots of fun!
-
Canyoneering (rappelling) in Ephedra's Grotto
- Hike across ancient petrified sand dunes which lead
into a dry rock wash. Quickly the wash turns into a dry waterfall that seems to
almost disappear into the tightest, deepest rain gutter imaginable. This
exquisite rappel is the first obstacle in reaching the entrance to the amazing
and not-at-all-famous Grotto. Now, totally enveloped in a small stone room,
whose floor rarely sees the light of day, we exit to find our next
challenge… a jaw-dropping rappel into the alluring green canyon below via
an enormous natural stone bridge!
- Jet Boat Ride to the Confluence of the Green and Colorado
Rivers at the heart of Canyonlands National Park.
- Scenic air flight back from Cataract Canyon. (suggested
transportation option)
- 2
nights at Moab's premier Gonzo Inn.
- All meals (except 1 dinner) from dinner the first night to
lunch the last day.
-
Transportation to and from all activities and the Lodge.
