We will journey by canoe for approximately 45 miles along the Green River, moving through the towering canyon walls of Utah’s Labyrinth Canyon. Our route begins at Ruby Ranch, just south of I-70, and concludes at Mineral Bottom near Canyonlands National Park. Over four to five days, our paddling is balanced with spacious layover days at remote riverside camps. Daily travel typically covers 7–15 miles, or about 3–5 hours on the water. The river is flat, flows gently here, with no rapids, offering an easeful and accessible paddling experience.

Your journey includes everything you need to settle into the rhythm of the river, connect with the natural world, and immerse yourself in this meaningful experience.

• Expert guiding from trained naturalists, experienced river guides, and specialized rite-of-passage guides

• All meals throughout the river journey, thoughtfully prepared to nourish you along the way

• Transportation from Grand Junction to the river put-in at Ruby Ranch, and transportation from the river take-out at Mineral Bottom to Grand Junction

• Canoe and river equipment needed for the journey

• Trip planning and logistical support before and throughout the journey

• Natural history and landscape interpretation, deepening your understanding of the canyon's geology, ecology, wildlife, and cultural history

• Guided reflection and rite-of-passage experiences that invite personal insight, growth, and meaningful connection

• Facilitated group experiences that nurture trust, community, and connection among women

• Time for solitude, rest, and reflection in the beauty and quiet of the canyon

• A thoughtfully guided journey that brings together adventure, nature connection, personal exploration, and community

This is more than a river trip. It's an opportunity to slow down, step away from everyday demands, and reconnect with yourself, other women, and the living world around you.

Each evening, we make camp along the river—sometimes on wide sandy beaches, other times beneath stands of oak and cottonwood. After unloading the canoes and settling camp together, the pace opens. There is time to swim, wander, rest, and write before we gather to prepare dinner. Several layover days are woven into the journey, offering spaciousness to explore nearby side canyons and to sink more fully into the experiences and invitations thoughtfully offered by our facilitators.

Weather in the canyon can shift quickly and sometimes without warning, so it’s important to come prepared with everything listed on the packing list. Rain showers and thunderstorms are possible at any time. Temperatures vary widely by month, ranging from daytime highs in the 60s with nighttime lows near freezing in March, to summer highs exceeding 100°F with warm nights in the 70s by August. For a broader view of seasonal conditions, we recommend reviewing the NOAA monthly weather averages for Labyrinth Canyon.

The Green River section we will be on is considered a Class I river with no rapids. This is a flat water trip.

All water and meals are provided. We are able to accommodate most dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Coffee and a variety of teas are provided as well.

This is a fully collaborative experience, designed to foster a strong sense of community and create a deeply memorable, transformative journey. All participants share in camp life: helping to set up and break down camp, loading and unloading canoes, preparing meals, and cleaning up together.

Each person is responsible for bringing their own camping gear, including a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and other items listed in the packing list.

The $500 deposit and trip fee for this journey are non-refundable. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment. A good policy can cover non-refundable expenses if you become ill, face significant travel delays, experience lost luggage, or encounter other unexpected challenges. Some plans even offer “cancel for any reason” coverage, or allow cancellation due to work obligations.

We welcome people of all skill levels and backgrounds—even if you’ve never canoed, camped, or spent time in the wilderness before. We’ll teach everything you need to know. Our intergenerational Labyrinth Canyon canoe trips are suitable for adults ages 18 to 80+.
