After the last frost in March or early April, the outside water spigot at Lee's Ferry is turned on. This spigot is located on the west side of the restroom.

Some folks only drink cold drinks. Check on the caffeine/non-caffeine, sugar, non sugar, fake sugar needs. Many people put a zip lock bag of an assortment of teas, hot chocolate, apple cider in each day box so all of one kind doesn't disappear in the first few days. In summer, electrolyte-replacement powders are handy to have around. One..." current

This can be very useful even if it is just for the first night when everyone is extra tired or only one person really knows their way around the kitchen. Good re-heatable food that can be cooked in a dutch oven includes lasagna, chile rellenos or almost any casserole dish. If it's in a round aluminum foil cook tray it can go as is into a dutch oven. A quicker approach is to take..." current

In the summer, cold soups like Gazpacho can be a real treat. Cold drinks like tomato juice (lots of salt) and electrolyte replacement drinks are also a summer hit.

Anyone pouring water down their throat but not offsetting the fluid intake with salty snack food needs to be watched for this condition. To keep salt levels steady think about how to add salt in the diet without making..." current

Some groups will be very flexible about when to eat lunch. It'll happen somewhere sometime. This is fine, as long as all folks on the river trip have snacks available to keep energy levels and electrolytes up. Other groups will stop sometime between 11:30AM and n..." current
