  • I did a kayaking trip with Evolution Expeditions in September 2008. It was a super day. Since they have their home in Summerlin, their first stop for pick up is at Red Rock Resort. I drove there and parked in the garage. They arrived right on time, and one person from the hotel went with me as the van took us to the Hacienda Hotel where the groups get their paperwork in order with the government person. This is necessary because of the heightened security at the dam. From the Hacienda, we were driven to the launch area just south of Hoover Dam along the Colorado. It was a wonderful morning with lots of sun and little wind. There are several stops as you make your way from hoover Dam to Willow Beach in Arizona--an 11 mile trip. The first stop is at Sauna Cave, a long test boring done before the dam was constructed. There is very warm water that steams up camera lenses quickly, and for some people, claustrophobia may be a problem. Sauna Cave is only a 1/2 mile or so down the river. The next stop is lower Goldstrike Canyon. There are several hot springs in the canyon and a few warm waterfalls. There is one area where the water temperatures are about 110 degrees. Goldstrike is only a few hundred yards south of Sauna Cave. From here, you kayak 3+ miles to the Arizona Hot Springs, which is about 4 miles from the beginning of the trip. Here you get a chance to climb up a new ladder that goes to the hot springs beyond this waterfall. Since I got careless before arriving here, my camera got wet when I tipped my kayak getting out and I have no photos from here on except the ones when I hiked to the Hot Springs. After the springs, you travel 3 more miles and then stop for a lunch break. After the lunch break, the trip continues downstream where you can see Emerald Cave and then the river gauging system before finishing the last two miles to Willow Beach. The Evolution van will be waiting. You just get out, go get a soda or snack, and they load the kayaks onto the trailer. Then they drive you back to your hotel. This was a super day. It is a great way to spend a day enjoying the scenery near Las Vegas. From the look of the photos already posted, I went the wrong day. (Big sigh!) :)
