This wilderness river expedition passes through one of the most pristine mountain river environments in the country. The trip consists of two sections of the Dolores. The first begins at Bradford Ranch near Cahone(north of Cortez) and finishes at Slickrock, approximately 48 miles down river. The water is Class III-IV including notorious Snaggletooth Rapid; the canyon walls are steep and tree covered with wonderful camps among the Ponderosa pines and on grassy benches. The second section, from Slickrock to Bedrock is mostly Class II-III but with beautiful sandstone cliffs, side canyons, sandy beaches, and a loneliness found on few western rivers. The training consists of paddle boat captaining and practice rowing cargo boats as well as all the mechanics and particulars of wilderness raft trips including daily boat packing/rigging, campsite and food preparation, and canyon exploration.
