Green River Desolation Canyon Adventure, June 11-15, 2012

TRIP
For those
who missed the Yampa Trip but still crave a river adventure--you have
another chance! ARTA will offer a second river trip just for Desert
Survivors: the Green River through Desolation Canyon, June 11 - 15,
2012.
.
This 5-day,
private-charter trip will raft the Green River through Desolation
Canyon, beginning in Vernal, Wyoming and ending in Green River, Utah.
It launches one day after the Yampa trip ends. We need an additional 12
people to make it a private trip.
The Green River
starts its journey on the slopes of 13,800 foot Gannett Peak, the
highest point in Wyoming, and travels nearly 700 miles before joining
the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park. The waterway is remote
and vast, traversing some of the least-inhabited country in the west.
We'll raft 83 miles through one of the most isolated stretches.
Desolation and Gray canyons are rugged, austere, and starkly beautiful.
Wide sweeping bends in the river form majestic amphitheaters which
clearly display the rugged, dramatic cliffs of the neighboring Tavaputs
Plateau.
Warm water and
moderate rapids make this a great trip for novices and seasoned river
runners. We'll camp on riverside beaches with spectacular views
of the river and canyon. Price: $769 per person. Deadline to sign up: February 28, 2012.
ARTA requires a
$100 per person deposit by Feb 28, 2012. Make your check out to ARTA
River Trips and mail to Bob Lyon, 569 Victoria Street, SF, CA 94132. Bob Lyon (robtlyon@gmail) and Michelle Bashin (mbashin@yahoo.com) are the trip organizers. See www.arta.org for trip details.
