What Can You Expect on a GC River Trip?
Rapids and Water
- many big but short rapids
- pool drops
- cold water (45 - 55 degrees F) any time of year
- long stretches between rapids
- water that can be green or brown and can change overnight
- more dangerous rapids at lower levels
- roller coaster rides
- only a few rapids are hazardous (with an 18 ft raft and an experienced guide)
- up-river winds (on occasion these can be a
royal pain in the butt)
Scenery and hikes
- great scenery
- fabulous side hikes
- an inability to see it all ... ever
- more accidents on shore than in the water
Other
- a great sense of freedom
- complete disregard for civilization
- a greater ability to shit in public
- to see bald eagles
- to run out of beer and tequila much to early in the trip
- to dream about becoming a hermit at Deer Creek (and to "borrow" food from passing river trips)
- sensory overload
