Think It’s Too Hot to Kayak? Think Again!
Beat the Heat with Evolution Expeditions

Let’s be real—summer in the desert can feel a little toasty. But before you assume it’s too hot to enjoy outdoor adventure, we’re here to bust that myth wide open. At Evolution Expeditions, we’ve got a cool secret that makes kayaking in the summer not just possible—but amazing.

The Best Kept Secret: 53-Degree Water. Yes, Really.

Did you know the water in the Black Canyon stays a refreshing 53°F year-round? That’s right. Even when the summer sun is doing its thing, the Colorado River is nature’s air conditioner. Whether you're paddling through emerald waters or hopping out to wade along the shoreline, the chill of the river keeps you cool from start to finish. Trust us—once you dip your hands or feet in, you’ll feel like you’ve found your own personal oasis.

Outdoor Exercise with a View

Kayaking isn’t just good for the soul—it’s good for your body too. This full-body, low-impact workout helps improve cardio health, strengthens your core, and boosts mental clarity. And the best part? You’re doing it all surrounded by breathtaking canyon views, dramatic cliffs, and maybe even a bald eagle or two soaring above.

Talk about leveling up your fitness routine.

Hydration + Preparation = Summertime Success

Of course, being outdoors in the summer comes with some responsibility. Staying hydrated is non-negotiable, so we always recommend bringing a reusable water bottle (or two!) and drinking regularly—even if you don’t feel thirsty. Wear light, breathable clothing, bring sunscreen, and don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Our expert guides are here to keep you safe, informed, and smiling every paddle of the way.

Experience Summer Like Never Before

Kayaking with Evolution Expeditions in the summer is more than an adventure—it’s a cool, refreshing, energizing escape from the heat. Whether you're exploring secret caves, spotting wildlife, or just floating and taking in the scenery, there’s nothing quite like the combination of desert sun and cold, clear water.

So don’t sweat the summer. Embrace it—with a paddle in hand.
