NOTES:This supply list covers the Self-Guided Canoe and Kayak Rentals. Based on our years of experience, we suggest items to consider for your trip - but you should bring what will best suit your needs. The canyons can be shady and cool in the mornings, and extremely hot in the middday sun. Summer thunderstorms are common, and you will want protection from the rain. If you have any questions, please call us and we will help you find the right gear.
