Spend a day learning basic packrafting skills (such as reading the river, catching eddies, paddle techniques and self rescue, among other things) on the Animas River, and then practice your skills in the backcountry on an overnight excursion on the San Miguel and Dolores rivers. No packrafting experience required. But basic backcountry skills are necessary. Can you cook your own food and set up your own tent? If so, this tour is for you. This course includes an open packraft, PFD, paddle, helmet, all food in the backcountry, permits, wag bags, sanitizing kits, camping, shuttling when necessary. Includes one night in a glamping tent at Scullbinder Ranch, plus front-country breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the day trip. Adult beverages not included. We have showers, a kitchen and hang out area for guests. We do not provide whitewater boats, drysuits, river knives, whistles or throw bags. You will need a drysuit for at least the first day of this trip. Rent drysuits locally at 4CornersRiversports.com (they only have four), or get a 15% discount if you order them online at BackcountryPackraft.com (you must let them know you are doing a tour with us).
