Explore secluded side canyons, savor huge vistas, learn the stories of the rocks, and experience the ultimate geologic river trip. Rafters will travel for 14 days in 18-foot rafts with 4 passengers and a guide in the most magnificent canyon, camping on isolated sand bars with leisure time for individual pursuit or group hiking. Daily geology lectures will set the stage for specific sites seen along the river or on hikes. Moki Mac River Expeditions, one of the oldest, most personal small outfitters on the river, provides food, guides, and river equipment. Moki specializes in safe trips with hiking opportunities and great ranch-style cooking.
Guides are plateau country natives who love to share their knowledge and stories.
This will be a moderately strenuous trip with an opportunity to explore the hidden depths of the canyon. Terry Wright, PhD is Professor of Geology at Sonoma State University and a longtime Academy instructor. He has led over 20 geology field trips on the river since 1970. Wright is intimately acquainted with the classic geologic history of this grand field laboratory and has explored the geology of the secret side canyons where the details of geology are perfectly displayed.
