The Women on Adventure Rafting Experience:
Highlighted in O Magazine as
“One of Six Great All-Girl Getaways”
The 5-day Writing on the River trip hosted by Page Lambert is a journey through beautiful Cataract Canyon. Another adventurous sojourn into nature! Connecting People with Nature, and Writers with Words© has been Page’s passion for years. Recipient of two Literary Fellowships from the Wyoming Arts Council, Page was described in "Inside/Outside Southwest Magazine" as one of the most notable women writers of the contemporary West. Author of fiction and nonfiction books, her poetry and essays appear in over 22 literary anthologies and she has facilitated over 150 workshops and retreats.
Enjoy 5 days/ 4 nights on the famous Colorado River through beautiful Cataract Canyon in the heart of Canyonlands National Park. The trip is led by the West’s premier outfitter Sheri Griffith Expeditions out of Moab Utah. All the comforts are included and the Sheri Griffith Expeditions women guides are some of the best in the world: fun, talented, professional and inspiring. Spectacular scenery, a musical writing adventure, and playful whitewater in warm and sunny southern Utah.  Isolated from modern civilization, the red cliff walls tower 2000 feet overhead, touching that flawless western blue sky.
Here the famous Colorado River flows freely, undammed and untamed. The majority of the trip is spent floating on calm water, giving us time to explore the natural creative rhythm of writing and for optional, moderate hikes. Free-flowing facilitation occurs throughout the trip as the rafts float between canyon walls, as we stop and hike to scenic lookouts and through secret canyons, and in the evenings and mornings while we relax at camp and enjoy the natural beauty and rhythm of the canyon. As we approach the rapids we'll be eager for some whitewater adventure. Campsites on beautiful beaches along the riverbank are remote so we carry with us all the comforts we'll need for our stay in the natural world. Every camp is pristine with only a few footprints of birds, animals or other travelers who pass this way.
Whether writing in your personal journal or writing for publication, being submerged in the natural world unleashes powerful creative energy. Personal writing time is woven into the moments between floating down the Colorado River, hiking at your leisure, or relaxing on shore. Beginning with breakfast, seminar material is presented at the river's edge and continues throughout the day, ending with readings under the stars. Material includes fiction, creative nonfiction, memoir and poetry. "Women rediscover an important part of themselves in the natural world," Page says. "We move and inspire each other in uniquely feminine ways."
