Trip Overview

This Utah canoe trip is an unforgettable odyssey. Paddling the spectacular 60-mile section of the Green River from Crystal Geyser south of Green River, UT, as it winds towards Mineral Bottom, just north of Canyonlands National Park, is the trip of a lifetime. Between the town of Green River, Utah, and Canyonlands National Park is part of the longest stretch of quiet wilderness water in the lower 48 states. As you canoe the Green River, the moving panorama is incomparable. The twisting, looping river winds its way between sheer, colorful sandstone walls, hundreds of feet high. Vast canyon systems and water channels branch in all directions, inviting hiking and exploring as well as providing excellent camping. Highlights may include hiking to Bow Knot Bend, the canyons of Trin-Alcove, plus Horseshoe Canyon. Old settler’s cabins, abandoned mines, historic outlaw hideouts, caves, ancient Fremont Indian petroglyphs (rock art panels a.d. 500-1200), and lush hidden springs await those who pass this way. Oftentimes, a layover day will be built into the trip for hiking. As you retrace Major John Wesley Powell’s 1869 route when he first floated this river and documented the area, remember his words describing his mission: “...to fill in the last white space on the map…”

The trip will begin in Moab, UT, where a local tour operator will transport passengers to the Green River entry point. Cars can be stored with the operator at no charge.

Special Information

The River of Life Wilderness Trip: “The ultimate summer vacation for those adventurous souls looking to deepen their connection with themselves, community and the Earth.”

• Join three of H.H. Sai Maa’s Master Teachers in an adventure both within and
 without. For six days we will canoe through the heart of central Utah on the Green
 River discovering who we are at a deeper level—beneath the surface current of our 
mind and emotions. Join us as we acknowledge, distinguish and release the ways that we hold ourselves back from our fullest expression in the world. Through strengthening our awareness of who we are and allowing our inauthenticity to float
 away, we will claim the full power of the artistry of crafting our life experience! With 
the breathtaking canyons of central Utah as our backdrop, we will learn and
 practice tools and techniques to uplift our daily life. What we will offer includes daily
 contemplative meditation practices, council, solo time, creative expression,
 primitive crafts, yoga and ceremony. Most importantly, on any summer vacation we 
will have FUN!
• No camping or canoeing experience is necessary.
 
Space is limited to 12 participants.
