点评:We just completed a private charter from Lees Ferry to Pipe Creek with Amber Shannon as our trip leader and an incredible group of guides — Mary, Ally, Lindsey, Tony, Ryan, Alexa, and Camryn. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing experience.
From start to finish, the trip was brilliantly organized. Joy helped us feel well prepared with excellent communication beforehand. On the river, every guide brought their unique knowledge, passion, and heart — whether it was geology, conservation, rafting history, native cultures, or simply sharing a song under the stars. The energy, teamwork, and love of the canyon shone through every moment.
Amber’s leadership was outstanding — we bonded over deep conversations, shared laughs, and her presence made me feel safe, seen, and inspired. I had some anxiety before the trip due to a bad rafting experience in the past, but this crew helped me feel calm and present every step of the way.
We saw condors, hiked breathtaking side canyons, shared delicious meals, and made lasting memories. I came home changed — more connected to nature, more grounded, and deeply grateful.
If you’re even considering this adventure: go. And if you’re lucky enough to have this team guiding you — you’re in for something extraordinary.
If you do decide to go, carefully think through what you decide to pack. You need a lot less than you think because everything dries so quickly. Definitely bring the rain-gear and layers but if you're a couple, share a day-pack and toiletries to save weight. I overpacked a bit but still made it to the top of the hike. Challenging trek but VERY satisfying.
翻译:我们刚刚完成了从利斯渡口到派普溪的私人包船之旅,领队是Amber Shannon,还有一群很棒的导游——Mary、Ally、Lindsey、Tony、Ryan、Alexa和Camryn。这真是一次千载难逢、改变人生的经历。
从始至终,行程安排得井井有条。Joy通过事前的良好沟通,让我们感到准备充分。在河上,每位导游都展现出他们独特的知识、热情和热情——无论是地质学、自然保护、漂流历史、原住民文化,还是仅仅是在星空下分享一首歌。活力、团队合作以及对峡谷的热爱贯穿了每一刻。
Amber的领导能力非常出色——我们通过深入的交谈、共同的欢笑建立了联系,她的存在让我感到安全、被重视和鼓舞。由于之前的漂流经历不愉快,我在旅行前有些焦虑,但这个团队帮助我在整个旅程中都保持平静和专注。
我们看到了秃鹫,徒步穿越了令人叹为观止的侧峡谷,共享了美味的食物,留下了难忘的回忆。回到家后,我整个人都焕然一新——更加亲近自然,更加脚踏实地,也更加感恩。
如果你正在考虑这次冒险:那就出发吧!如果你足够幸运,有这支团队为你指引方向——你将会拥有一段非凡的旅程。
如果你决定出发,一定要仔细考虑要带什么。你需要带的东西比你想象的要少得多,因为所有东西都干得很快。一定要带雨具和多层衣物,但如果你们是情侣,可以共用一个背包和洗漱用品以减轻重量。我打包了一点东西,但还是爬到了山顶。虽然这次徒步充满挑战,但非常令人满足。
