Kayaking the Black Canyon below the Colorado River

April 2-5, 2017

I decided that I wanted to do a “girls only” style trip.  Originally, I had my eyes set on doing Havasu Falls in Arizona.  However, after over 350 calls to the reservation office, I ditched that idea. (It is EXTREMELY difficult to get a permit).  A little brainstorming later and I decided to do an overnight kayaking trip, as I’ve never done an overnight via small boat.  The Black Canyon was perfect.  It’s smooth water (as long as weather is good) through some pretty rugged country and about 12 miles total.  As an extra bonus, the side canyons along the way are scattered with hotsprings! I made a facebook group to invite the ladyfriends, and thankfully Marisa, Kasey and Kritika were able commit to the trip!  

We all met up early Sunday morning, and drove to the Hoover Dam Lodge where our shuttle was waiting.  After loading up our gear, we drove down to the put in, getting a not often seen view of the Hoover Dam from the bottom!  We began our first day of paddling, getting sunburnt, “parking” our boats to hike up the side canyons to experience the hotsprings, and chasing ducks.  That night, we camped at Arizona Hot Spring Beach, took an amazing night soak in my favorite spring, and played with night photography.  

To begin Day 2, we hiked up to check out the slot canyon spring during the daytime before hitting the water.  It was longer paddling on the second day and we were expecting to battle winds that were forecasted.  Emerald Cave wasn’t 100% what we expected, but still crazy beautiful with the reflecting green hue of the clear waters.  The last mile of paddling to the take out was rough as a storm began to blow in.  Waves splashed over the sides and we had to maintain our balance to keep from capsizing.  About 2 minutes after we pulled our boats of water and secured them on the beach, cracks of lighting began.  CLOSE CALL!  After the shuttle dropped us back off at our cars, the storm passed, and we got some hot food in us, we hiked the old train tunnels above Lake Mead.  That night, camp was set up in one of the washes.

In the morning, we did some exploring of the Lake Mead Recreation area before heading back into Vegas to drop off Kritika.  After snapping a quick shot with the “welcome to Vegas” sign and swinging by the airport, Marisa, Kasey and I scrambled the beautiful rocks along the Tanks hike at Red Rock Conservation Area.  We filled up our bellies at Panera, then headed to the strip to take our first showers.  Ahhhh! We explored the strip, collected escort cards and gambled about $15 total between the three of us before calling it a night.

The next morning, I dropped the girls off at the airport and hit the road back to Reno.  All in all, the trip was a great success!  It was relatively stress free, got us away from the hubub of work and the real world, and we did it without the help of our male counterparts.  I think we were all very sad to leave and wish we could have spent another night on the water.  I cannot wait til the next all female adventure, where should we go next?!

Are you a beaver? Cuz DAM! Hoover dam, to be precise, which forms Lake Mead, a lake on the Colorador river and the largest reservoir in the US n terms of water capacity. It supplies 20m people in CA, AZ, and NV.
