Great Canyon Hikes of the Colorado Plateau

Since 2000, Ken and Marcia Powers have walked most of our country's premier long-distance trails-Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Appalachian Trail, American Discovery Trail, Grand Enchantment Trail, Arizona National Scenic Trail, and more. Join this intrepid duo for a digital presentation of their latest adventure-exploring the red rock canyons of the Colorado Plateau. Ken and Marcia will take you on some canyon hiking classics, including a backcountry loop in Bryce Canyon National Park, a rim-to-rim day hike in Grand Canyon National Park, and a photo tour of Antelope Canyon. They'll also show you the rich hues and fantastic sculpted walls of some of the more challenging and remote slot/river canyons, such as Round Valley Draw, Dark Canyon, Buckskin Gulch, and Paria Canyon-all in Utah. Learn what it takes to safely explore the red rock backcountry, where drinking water is scarce, rain leads to quicksand and flash floods, and temperature swings are the norm. If you register for this free presentation at www.rei.com/stores, we will hold a seat for you until the scheduled start time. Seating may be available at the door, even if registration is closed.
