Paddle through primitive volcanic canyon walls from Willow Beach!
Paddle through primitive volcanic canyon walls towering over 900’.
Explore giant volcanic boulders at the opening of Black Canyon where many paddlers enjoy a descent into the crystal clear, emerald waters of the Colorado River. Take a break from kayaking and explore the area while hiking up a hill to a historical site that will give you breathtaking views of the entire canyon. Enjoy a catered lunch on a remote beach, while watching the wildlife drama unfold on both Nevada and Arizona shorelines. Be prepared to see desert bighorn sheep, osprey, falcons, bald eagles, and great blue heron in their natural setting!
