We recommend that your group plan car pools and that each vehicle carry a map to our meeting place. For Dolores trips you can fly to Durango, Albuquerque, or Grand Junction and rent a car from there to just west of Cortez. Detailed directions will be sent. We pretty much go rain, snow, or shine. We may wait a shower out before leaving, but usually our rain gear or wet suits will keep you comfortable.
Guides carry extra wool sweaters for emergencies in their dry bags.
Try to avoid wearing cotton garments on the river. Cotton, when wet, will make you colder. No drugs, alcohol or electronics on trips. The Dolores River is close to the Anasazi ruins at Mesa Verde National Park, Hovenweep National Monument and the incredible Utah canyon country with its abundance of national parks.
