This morning I am super excited because today we're about to float the mighty
Colorado River and for me, someone who loves rafting, someone that's rafted a
lot before, this is a bucket list item for me. And it's not big water.
Class II, class III, a great introduction and the nice thing is you end up at Red
Cliffs Ranch and there's a giant barbecue spread. That sounds like the
perfect day for me. Let's get going.
This is a perfect day trip. Great for families, it's great for older people, for
kids, for anyone that really wants to come down see something really beautiful
and have a lot of fun. It's a great thing for multiple ages I have a 15 year old
here and a 7 year old and it's something we can all do as a family together.
The guides are really amazing and they're very experienced, they're very personable
so they feel like family within minutes almost of you getting there. It's been new
something I've never done before, but definitely I felt safe and very much alive.
The water was not too cold but since it's so hot when you're in the
water you feel good. I mean I was initially was expecting this to be rough, hard and
long but it turned out to be really enjoyable. Along the Colorado River I mean
this is once-in-a-lifetime experience looking at the canyon I mean there's
just no words to describe it, fantastic experience.
We just had lunch at... What is this? Red Cliffs. Red Cliff Lodge. Beautiful lunch set up.
Those burgers were delicious I got a little bit of extra weight now for the
rest of this trip. So let's head back to the Airbnb
let's grab some a/c, let's get changed, and let's go rock climbing.
We are here at this spot maybe 10 minutes outside Moab. We are going to do a
beginner's rock climbing course if you're not a climber and you want to
experience it and you don't have the harness and the shoes and the rope and
all the different things that go along with climbing, you just check into the
Adventure Center, they will get you outfitted with all that stuff along with
a guide to bring you out here. Ten minutes out of town to climb.
Personally I just kind of like the way the look I got going here I've got kind of a river
shirt kind of a goofy helmet stuck to my head and my ears don't fit I don't know if you guys
noticed but have big ears. Watch this stupid human trick...
Helmet kind of accentuates that. So anyways the helmet feels a little goofy but
I'm excited to get back on the wall
All right this is Chad climbing after 20 years you know we should we should also
cover something about what you do you know to help yourself out down here but
I always just yeah spread out and let stuff come through it comes right through
yeah yeah yeah okay you hear that you're just gonna spread it out and it kind of
finds its way through good.
This is a real flattering angle I got of you Chad. You like my flattering angle
those are the ol' glutes, been working on those for years. My wife complains about my
tiny butt but you know there's only so much a guy can do.
Rock climbing was very nice. I'm a very novice rock climber meaning I
don't do it much but for indoor climbing gyms. So these guys showed me a
few things. Yeah it was fun for me, I haven't climbed in a long time but
getting back on the rock and Sarah was this total awesome rock star just
climbed right up it a little bit of fear but conquered it it was cool to see
people do it. So basically intro to rock climbing is
well worth it. And if you need help planning your own
