Offered in: English

Can’t decide between a land based tour or the river? This combination tour includes the best of two of our favorite trips meshed into one amazing day on the San Juan. You’ll float 8 miles paddling your own kayak or jump in a tandem with someone you love. Two short easy hikes will take you to one of the largest rock art panels in North America and a 1000 year old cliff dwelling. Unlike Mesa Verde and other National Parks this is a wilderness expedition and we often have these world class sites to ourselves. We’ll feed you lunch on the peaceful banks of the river and end the day with a rugged 4×4 Hummer ride back to Bluff.

    In Utah, the San Juan River is known for its dramatic scenery, including high mesas, sandstone cliffs, and deep canyons, making it a popular destination for outdoor activities like rafting, kayaking, and fishing. The river's course takes it through remote areas, including parts of the Navajo Nation, and provides access to some of the most picturesque and isolated spots in the state, such as the San Juan River Gorge.

    The site is known for its well-preserved cliff dwellings, which are built into the canyon's rock faces. These dwellings were constructed by the Ancestral Puebloans, who utilized the natural rock formations for protection and shelter. The Butler Wash Ruin features multi-room structures and other architectural remnants, providing valuable insight into the lives of the people who lived there. Visitors can view the remains of these buildings, which include stone walls and small alcoves that once served as living spaces.
