One awesome weekend!  At 7AM Saturday morning, we dropped our kayaks into the Colorado River at the base of the Hoover Dam.  During the 11.5-mile kayak trip, we stopped along several spots to explore thermal springs, kayaked, had a picnic, and snapped a few photos.  The following day, we hiked through the Valley of Fire.  Each night, we lit a camp fire and cooked some delicious meals.  I highly recommend this trip.  Klaus Gerhart is a very experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly guide.

Jano:  Had to add that Klaus went above and beyond for the weekend.  Planned all group meals, got us hot shower access, and gave a fully professional level intro to rappelling.
