Centennial Canoe Outfitters, Inc.

Just completed a 3-​day guided canoe trip with Centennial Canoe and absolutely loved it. Our 2 guides, Marty and Ward, really made the trip for our group of 7 guys. We canoed 2 days and had 1 day to hike around the Dominguez Canyon. They knew the history of the land, taught «most» of us how to canoe, and were great cooks! I recommend this trip for any group of friends or family looking for a relaxing, yet exciting trip and wanting to make a memory. Will definitely go again with friends next season! Thanks Marty and Ward!!!

I am a certain age, work in an office where the most physically-​demanding task is moving the external drive, so this trip was hard for me. Get ready to do everything except cook: load, unload your canoe, lash everything down; set up, dismantle your tent, paddle all day long. There is not a shred of luxury to this trip. The CO River water was low, so there wasn’t much rafting type floating. This is primitive camping, with no water, no amenities, not even a shelter to hang your lantern on. The guides, Mark, Nick, and Brooks, were fantastic, helping us even finish the trip. I would like to have had more explanation of the flora and fauna we saw, but this was a geology trip. Go with your eyes open, understanding this is a do-​it-​yourself, primitive camping experience. Enjoy.
At the end of the trip, we stopped at an RV park in Fruita (lst exit, head towards the mesa. It’s apx. ¼ mile on your left). For $ 5, you can have a great, hot shower. Bring your own soap, towels (thanks to Mark for that tip.)
