Overview:
The trip through Stillwater Canyon takes us through Canyonlands National Park. Amazing rock formations and scenery on
a grand scale along with ruins and rock art sites provide plenty of opportunities for exploration. The river provides access
into the Doll House and the Maze.
Since there is no road access at the end of this run when we reach the confluence with the Colorado River we will arrange for a jet boat shuttle back upstream the Colorado River to Moab, through Tex’s Riverways. Each participant will
be required to pay for their part of the shuttle.
Note that our travel schedule will depend, in part, on wind predictions, but our BLM permit requires that we “launch,
travel (stay within visual contact) and camp together as a group”.
Since Moab is a 6-7 hour drive from the Front Range, most paddlers will arrive in the area the night before put-in with
everyone on their own for camping or lodging. After meeting at Tex’s Riverways on put-in morning (time TBD), we’ll
off-load boats and river gear and load onto their trailer. Once at Mineral Bottom we will start rigging the boats and we’ll
hope to launch by 1:00.
Each day we will try to be on the river by 9:00 or 9:30 unless we decide as a group a different time the night before.
Depending on the speed and desires of the group we will be taking one or two layover days. After the Confluence, I hope
to have a layover at or near the Dollhouse trailhead so those that want to hike can do so.
