Family Rafting

      In the July 2007 Leave No Trace e-news one of the articles talked about "Nature Deficit Disorder" and "Leave no Child Inside." It seems that since the late 1990's the youth of America have "rising obesity rates, excessive TV watching, and video game obsession," while excercise, camping, nature, and stewardship for the environment have all declined. Wilderness is a need of mankind for both the mind and body. The only way to preserve and protect the environment is by instilling a love of wild places in the young people of the world. This is accomplished by immersing them in nature. A rafting trip on the Green River through Desolation Canyon is a great way to do this.

     A rafting trip is truly the best way to get together with your family. From day one everything is planned out for you. The meals are taken care of, the recreation and entertainment is taken care of, and there is plenty of time to spend with your family. We have found that the best family rafting trip in the world is Desolation Canyon on the Green River. It allows kids of all ages to have a good time. Inflatable kayaks for the adventurous ones, sand to build castles in for the younger ones, and plenty of big cottonwood trees to read under for those who just want to relax.
