River Rafting Creates Big Appetites and Deep Slumber
After a day on the rafts, sandy beaches provide welcome camping
spots. Western spares no effort to make camp cuisine the most
comfortable and delicious as any outfitter on any river. Even
though you are miles from civilization, that's no excuse for freeze-dried
food. While you're getting your sleeping bag spread out -- and
maybe enjoying a riverside cocktail -- the guides exchange their
life jackets for aprons as the sun goes down, stirring up amazing
menus of fresh fish or meat with Western flair, served with crisp
salads and fresh vegetables - all topped off with surprising deserts
like a Dutch-oven up-side-down cake. Fireside tales and songs
last until your energy drains.
Every Western River Expedition guest is provided a waterproof
gear bag, top quality sleeping bag, comfortable folding cot, deluxe
tent, and ground cloth. While many people enjoy sleeping under
the constellations, some prefer a little protection overhead.
Either way, this is camping in comfort.
Sun-up begins with a hearty breakfast of fresh fruit, juice,
eggs, pancakes, French toast, and bacon or sausage. Coffee and
hot chocolate are always welcome warmers as the sun peaks over
the canyon rim.
At noon, the guides spread out their famous luncheon smorgasbord
of deli meats, cheeses and breads. You'll be surprised how deft
your fellow travelers become at balancing a stack of coldcuts,
pickles, tomatoes, chips and cookies.
All rafts carry a ready supply of cold lemonade and cold water
to keep thirsts quenched. When the guides offer treats of candy
bars and fruit, guests respond as if they been on survival training!
