Imagine launching your kayak just under Hoover Dam and looking up at this massive structure. Our fascinating journey began here. We traveled down the Colorado River for thirteen miles and I felt inspiration, awe and reverence for the Earth. The canyon seemed almost lifeless with the stillness broken only by an occasional bird croaking overhead, the scattered sound of the wind or the drips off my paddle. Along this wondrous trip we stopped numerous times for a short hike to the hot springs where we soaked our weary bones. The surface of the pool seemed to shimmer and dance as the water then slid over the ledge, down a narrow stream through the canyon towards the Colorado River. A delicious picnic lunch was enjoyed on the banks at mid-day. This incredible journey is a memory I treasure, and will be sure to delight your adventurous spirit! You too can enjoy this amazing trip on the Best of the West tour!
