OUTDOOR ADVENTURE HAPPENINGS
Red Rock Regatta Happens August 28 th
The First Annual Red Rock Regatta, hosted by
Splore on August 28, 2010, will launch on the Colorado
River at Rocky Rapid put-in and conclude after Whites
Rapid. Build your own craft or join us at Red Cliffs
Lodge for food, family activities, give-aways, and live
entertainment. The fun starts at 4 p.m. and ends at 10
p.m. All proceeds from the event benefit individuals who
participate in Splore’s outdoor recreation programs.
The Red Rock Regatta is open to all abilities, all
water-worthy crafts, and all walks of life. Experience
what outdoor adventure means – find inspiration, achieve
empowerment, feel a rush of adrenaline, and discover the
magic of Splore. Outdoor adventure is in the heart of the
canyonlands surrounded by red rock cliffs on the Colorado
River.
See the renowned Castleton Tower before launching
on the Rocky Rapid Rally, an all-crafts costume contest
and flotilla. From there, join in the frenzy for the Whites
Rapid Dash, an all-crafts white water dash for glory. Finish
the festivities with family activities and live music on the
lawn at Red Cliffs Lodge. Flaunt your feathers, grab your
glory, feed your belly, and get your jam on with Marinade.
