For 7 days you raft and inflatable kayak down this 85-mile stretch of Utah's Green River. Desolation and Gray Canyons are deeper in places than the Grand Canyon. You learn to read river currents, paddle through rapids, and camp on white sandy beaches. As you progress down river, rapids become larger, but your skills improve to meet the challenge.
Canyon Pool Exploration
Moab is Utah’s oasis in the desert. The snow melt from the mountains above Moab help carve red sandstone canyons leaving refreshing pools of clear water. For 24 years Deer Hill has enjoyed these hidden treasures and we are careful to tread lightly to help conserve this precious ecosystem. Smooth canyon ledges eroded by wind and water offer ideal hiking paths. Exploring these intricate side canyons you marvel at a landscape that has been masterfully sculpted by wind and water. You learn to share and enjoy nature with new friends while being responsive to the sensitive needs of this desert environment.
Service with the Hopi
When you arrive on the Hopi mesas of northern Arizona, Hopi families welcome you into their homes. Working side by side with Hopi youth, you build a retaining wall, mend a roof, hoe a cornfield, or repair a stone bread oven. We have the rare opportunity to attend Hopi ceremonial dances that fill you with ancient rhythms and powerful drumbeats. The Kachina figures of the Hopi clans dance for all of humankind. You feel a part of a community whose traditions have endured for 1000 years.
