Student Field Trips Yuma River Tours has always strived to cultivate in children a love for the beauty and history of the Colorado. It is for this reason that a special, discounted package is available for field trips. In addition to stopping at the Watchman's Cabin from the 1800's and participating in educational activities at Mayflower Mine, we also arrange for a Park Ranger at Picacho State Park to take the children on a guided nature walk.
Students wear life vests and are instructed in water safety.
Trips are tailored to suit the particular needs of the group. If you are interested in a canoe trip, we invite you to enjoy a jetboat shuttle cruise from Martinez Lake upriver to Walter's Camp.
