This leisurely 42-mile trip through the Escalante and Dominguez Canyons is a summer
delight. The Gunnison is ideal for beginning and intermediate canoeists, providing
lots of fun with various Class 1+ rapids along its course. You will paddle through
the Escalante Wildlife Refuge and beside high walls of beautiful red sandstone and
shale, deposited during the age of the dinosaurs. Interesting side trips into deep
box canyons will leave you awed by the immensity of geologic time and the silence
of the wilderness. Massive cottonwood trees stand on the river bends supporting
huge nests of blue herons, hawks and eagles. Time permitting, hiking may include
the spectacular Dominguez Canyon Wilderness Area complete with a 40-foot waterfall,
secluded swimming holes and numerous ancient Indian petroglyphs.
