Cost: $97/person. There are some variables that we just do not know. If it is cold and windy, then kayaking is out of the question. If we have more than 16 people total on the trip, then everyone riding the big boat is unsafe. If there is more than 16 people, some people are definitely going to have to hike out if we cannot kayak. If the weather looks good for kayaking I have 10 2-person kayaks, and enough paddles and PFDs. Bringing the big boat allows us to transport everyone’s personal gear so you only have to hike with a daypack, and we get to eat like kings.Get you name on the list for this winter trip to the Arizona hot springs coming just around the corner.This is gonna be good so get in so you can get OUT.Terria Wild & Discovery Church
