labyrinth and stillwater canyons - zen kayaking/canoeing trip - October 24, 2026
Calling all sea kayakers and canoeists for a prime fall foliage paddle on the Green river. It is 121 miles total for both canyons, plan to paddle ~16 miles and ~4 hrs per day, stopping at all of the sites. Using Tex's Riverways for a jet boat shuttle back to Moab ($215/person + $50-160/boat). Basic plan: camp at Swayseys on Oct 23 in Green River; drop gear, run shuttle to Moab, and start paddling on the 24th; jet boat pickup at Spanish Bottom on Nov 1st back to Moab. Although technically flat water, afternoon winds can make this a bit of a workout. Paddling and river backcountry camping experience needed. 5 jet boat spots were available on Oct 2nd. If you want to go, call Tex and check the availability of a Spanish Bottom "pickup only" spot for Nov 1st, then contact Nix for details.
