Itinerary
Itinerary
9:30 AM
Meet at Beasley Flats in Camp Verde, Arizona at 9:30 AM.
Check in, sign release forms, get dressed for the river! Wetsuit and wetsuit boot rentals are highly recommended in a river kayak.
Shuttle to river for safety orientation and rafting instructions. Then, hit the river!
Tackle “Off the Wall,” “Pre-falls” and the exciting Class IV to V (depending on water levels) “Verde Falls” (often requires portaging)!
After the falls, float through the highly restricted “Eagle Closure” where stopping is prohibited to protect the winter nesting ground of the desert bald eagles.
Stop for a delicious deli-style lunch, then, head out to challenge “Bull Run,” Rock Garden,” & “Punk Rock” among others.
Late evening brings us to our stop for camp, with time for hiking, fishing, or just relaxing. Our guides will cook you a fantastic campfire dinner that evening, and a hearty breakfast in the morning to keep you fueled for the river!
Day 2 includes many more rapids, including: “Bushman,” “White Flash,” “Black Hole,” and “Child’s Play,” as well as a special stop to soak in a natural, riverside hot spring!
At 2:00 PM we arrive at our take out where the shuttle picks you up to return you to your car at Beasley Flats by 5:00 PM.
