We had an early 4:30 am wake up to drive the final 50 minutes to Lees Ferry.

My wife and I drove out to Page Arizona the night before our scheduled departure date and spent the night in a hotel. The map below can be viewed and downloaded on Caltopo here.ĭay 1: Glen Canyon Dam to Ferry Swale Campsite

The backhaul service can drop you off at a number of different locations if you do not want or can not paddle the entire length. Camping next to the Colorado river will be an experience I will never forget. I recommend staying at least one night in the canyon. The 15 miles of Colorado River from the Black Canyon Dam back to Lees Ferry can be kayaked in one day. We brought our own kayaks, our trusty Pakayaks, but you can rent kayaks or paddle boards through them for an extra fee. When we went it was $75 a person for the backhaul. There are a number of Backhaul services, we used Kayak Horseshoe Bend and they were fantastic. If we paddled upstream we would not have been able to see the entire canyon, and may have missed our amazing campsite we stayed at. In fair conditions it wouldn't have been too bad but conditions and river conditions can change quickly. My wife and I are strong paddlers and I wanted to kayak upstream, but my wife convinced me not to, and I am glad I listened to her.

Attempt to paddle upstream (Not recommended), or hire a backhaul service to take you the 15 miles upstream in a power boat and drop you off. In order to Kayak Horseshoe bend you have to start at Lees Ferry.
