I recently moved to Las Vegas and I’m not familiar with the outlying area. I am ordering an alpacka this morning as an upgrade to my patchwork coleman raft that has served me so willingly however horribly on some Denali NP and other trips. When I get this thing in the mail I am going to drive up to 12 hours to do some exploratory pack rafting.
I’ve canoed Black Canyon below the Hoover Dam and I am looking to get out of the immediate area, which isn’t hard since Black Canyon is about it.
Ideas so far are Yosemite area, Kings Canyon, Canyonlands, Zion. I am looking for some possibilities in Prescott National Forest or down by Tucson/Mt. Lemmon as well.
I’m looking for partners for weekend trips, whitewater runs (currently novice), bike rafting, rafti-canyon-climbineering caving, all sorts of anything and everything involving inflatable flotation.
Also seeking any trip ideas or leads, websites, Google Earth “this”, anything.
Thanks,
Tom
