Queer Rafting (Sober): Southwest


Queer Rafting Trip (Sober): Lodore Canyon

August 17-21, 2022

For our second season in a row TVOP is partnering with Holiday River Expeditions & inviting folks to join an intentionally sober LGBTQ Lodore Canyon rafting trip. This is one of our three LGBTQ affinity group offerings this year! The Venture out Project will provide facilitators & Holiday will provide the interpretation, logistics, and just about everything else!  We’ve got you covered. With striking geologic features layered in intimately narrow canyons, the Gates of Lodore river trip along the northern stretches of the Green River offers a nurturing & vibrant backdrop for this sophomore year LGBTQ trip offering.  With delicious meals, class 3-4 whitewater & plenty of time to relax, this 4-day adventure is the perfect length and pace of a trip to disconnect from the “real-world” & relax into a deeper sense of yourself and the natural world around you.

*The Lodore LGBTQ canyon rafting trip is a trip intended for adults 18 years & older

We acknowledge the Indigenous inhabitants of Lodore. In an effort to end the erasure of the traditional inhabitants of the land through which we travel, Holiday acknowledges that Lodore Canyon is the homeland of the Eastern Shoshone people and the Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) people. We honor and respect these people, and continue to develop our land acknowledgement initiative. Read more here.
