River Currents Blog

River Currents is a blog open to many voices that have had a connection with the river and our trips. You’ll hear the voice of veteran river-runner and Holiday founder Dee Holladay, the voice of guides whose lives have been shaped by their time on the river, and guests who bring the perspectives that remind us why we’re still making these trips happen 45 plus years later. You’ll also hear from our regular blog contributors, Peta Owens-Liston, Joe Ballent, Derek Farr & Julie Trevelyan.

This Cataract Canyon trip was the highlight of our vacation in the US.


The Kennedy Family, 5-day Cataract Canyon


Your office staff was very helpful with all our questions by mail and by phone. We appreciated being able to handle payments over the phone, since we are based in France. The tents were very easy to mount, and the sleeping bags were fine. We were extremely happy with our two guides, Brin and Brian. They were funny, polite and their passion for the river was quite contagious. We enjoyed them very much and they contributed significantly to our overall satisfaction. Taking hikes was one of our explicit requests and we were happy to be able to do so many and with such variation. The choice of hikes was excellent (highlights were slot canyon and jasper canyon). The food was an important factor in our choice of Holiday and the quality and variety exceeded our expectations. Our guides were like magicians, whipping up very tasty breakfasts and dinners. We especially loved the melon and crispy salad! This Cataract Canyon trip was the highlight of our vacation in the US. Living on the river, following its rhythms, gave us a feeling of serenity and wonder at the preserved natural beauty and the rich cultural heritage of this part of the world. This trip touched each of us, including our 17 year old daughter and our 10 year old son, in a unique way, and gave our family a fabulous memory for years to come. Our thanks and our compliments for preserving and sharing this treasure.

    We were also with Holiday on the Kennedy rafting trip and can’t begin to express what a wonderful trip we had. Not only did we eat like kings and queens but we saw amazing prehistoric rock art and ruins. Brian and Brin were highly skilled in rowing and cooking. They are knowledgeable about the river and area and sensitive to the needs for preservation of the precious river environment. This was a memorable trip. Thanks for a wonderful week!
