By the late 1870's, the Mormons had colonized virtually every corner of Utah before pushing the boundaries of "Zion" southeast to the isolated canyons of the San Juan River. It was on the San Juan that Norman Nevills, a pioneer of commercial river running, began his first river trip with a new bride and a boat built from outhouse planks.
This country is a Mecca for the lover of slick rock, precious Indian cultural sites, and warm-water rapids. Your guide can lead you through side canyons to swimming pools, or to the canyon rim for an endless vista of Monument Valley, the landscape synonymous with the "John Wayne Western".
Flowing faster than any other river we run, the San Juan has scores of small rapids. In addition, sand waves caused by shifting sands on the river bottom add several spontaneous roller-coaster rides to the 83-mile trip. For those who like a lot of action, we bring inflatable kayaks which shift the San Juan's modest rapids upscale to high adventure.
Testimonial:
“The first time I went down the San Juan was with a group of boatmen. It was hard to read the map because the scenery was so amazing...the water was moving so fast. It made us dizzy because our heads were busy snapping from one side of the river to the other to see the next scenic attraction.” Dee Holladay, Holiday River's 1975 Reconnaissance Trip
