During the day award-winning photographer Patrick Cone (http://www.patrickconephotography.com/ Kurt Repanshek (http://www.nationalparkstraveler.com/ This co-hosted trip ventures through some of the most remote, rugged and iconic landscape of the Southwest and arguably the Lower 48. It was a favorite of wilderness advocate and conservationist Edward Abbey. “We load the boats, secure the hatches, lash down all baggage, strap on life jackets, face the river and the sun, the growing roar of the rapids,” Abbey wrote of one of his encounters with Cataract Canyon. “First Brown Betty, then Ben Hur and Capsize Rapids, then the Big Drop and Satan’s Gut. Delightful names, and fitting. We feel the familiar rush of adrenaline as it courses through our blood. We’ve been here before, however, and know that we’ll get through. Most likely. The odds are good.” To celebrate the trip partnership and announcement, Holiday River Expeditions is offering a chance to win two seats on the trip through a Facebook contest April 17-25.
