  • This Is an Expedition Before and After Trip Logistics the Trip Camping Equipment Provided Packing List Frequently Asked Questions Trip Map
    SPEX Sedona Philosophy Experience The Grand Questions Colorado River trip June 2-June 10, 2017 Contents: THIS IS AN EXPEDITION BEFORE AND AFTER TRIP LOGISTICS THE TRIP CAMPING EQUIPMENT PROVIDED PACKING LIST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS TRIP MAP THIS IS AN EXPEDITION This is an extraordinary vacation and may be unlike any other experience you and your guests have ever had. Please review this information as it is important to us that you and everyone on your reservation are prepared for the trip. Keep in mind the anticipated rigors of the trip; good health and physical condition are musts for this rafting adventure. A Grand Canyon rafting trip often presents challenges to those already compromised with poor health or physical fitness. Please strongly consider and discuss any challenges with your doctor. Beyond the active itinerary, camp safety is essential. Camp life may entail moving around and over rocks, climbing steep, sandy beaches, and cautiously crossing slick or sticky mud. In addition, living outdoors for several days in a desert environment can quickly impact one’s health and stamina. Weather conditions vary from extreme heat to extreme cold, heavy rain, strong winds, and blowing sand. We encourage you to use the following questions to help think about the ideal level of endurance and stamina needed. Can you: • Ascend and descend two flights of stairs carrying a 20 pound bag without using a handrail? • Get up on top of a kitchen counter, stand up, and return to the floor without using a stool? • Climb several sets of stairs while urgently needing the bathroom? • Rise from a seated position from the ground to standing up to 30 times a day? • Balance a plate of food on your lap while eating? • Suspend your weight from a pull up bar for 15 seconds? This trip is doable for most adventurers and for many newcomers as well.
