Went in late June. Second visit. The river is still amazing.
What makes me sad is how "people" continue to trash the river. =(
Group of 5. Tied 6 tubes together, the extra was for our beloved Mr. Ice Jiggly Chest (Yes, I named "it") packed with WATER, beer, sandwiches, watermelon, misc. snacks, & zip-locked away: water camera, sunblock!!, lip balm, wet naps, napkins and trash bags.
-Not a necessity but i recommend wearing water shoes.
-Bring strings if u want to tie your tubes together or whip someone who pisses u off! J/K =)
-Bring a sheet or towel to drape over your tube. Trust me.
It's definitely worth a try if you haven't.. Just imagine, floating down the river lazily with a beer in one hand surrounded by beautiful scenic desert accompanied by your wonderful friends...
minus floating marshy, weird drunkies, and floating objects..
BLAST!
