Christmas brought about 5″ of snow to our Fredonia, Warehous, and about 8″ to our Salt Lake headquarters. Better yet the snowpack in the mountains is well above average at this point and 2017 is looking like a great year to raft Desolation Canyon or Cataract Canyon.

Today President Obama using the Antiquities Act declared Bears Ears National Monument. At CRATE we strongly believe in the preservation of Federal Land for our future generations. Can you imagine if President Roosevelt had not used the Antiquities Act on January 11, 1908? There would not be a Grand Canyon as we know it. It would likely be all privatized.
