My wife and I were invited to join 9 others on a 9 day, 84 mile adventure down the San Juan. We launched March 23. This was my first time, and I have to say it didn't disappoint.
My wife and I packrafted, the others rafted and we had one canoe on the trip. We dealt with the typical canyon country spring weather...rain, snow, sleet, wind, sun...and it was perfect. Our first night was at Chinle Creek on the Navajo side. River left is permitted by the Navajo Nation.
Low flows (600-700 cfs) made the last two days fairly epic, pushing and pulling rafts off the occasional sand bar but that's probably why packrafters were invited along
