Sample Menu

Our guests are always surprised at the quality (and quantity) of food that we serve. You won't find any burned hot dogs, half-baked potatoes, or tin foil dinners here! With the huge coolers that our cargo rafts carry, our guides are able to prepare some pretty incredible meals. Although our menu will vary from year to year, the sample below will give you an idea of the culinary treats in store for you:

Assorted cereals and granola, yogurts, fresh fruits, and toasted English muffins or bagels are available for the early risers. An open grill every morning offers eggs to order and pancakes. Each day features bacon or sausage, and specialties such as veggie hash browns, Mexican "migas" (a guide favorite), French toast, or omelets to order.

A sandwich smorgasbord with a wide variety of deli-sliced meats and cheeses, fresh vegetables, gourmet condiments, peanut butter and jelly, and assorted whole-grain breads and rolls. Other days will have specialties including smoked trout on bagels, hummus in pocket bread, spicy taco salad wrapped in tortillas, and curried chicken salad. Assorted chips, snacks, fresh fruits, and cookies satisfy the sweet tooth.

While your dinner is being prepared, mouthwatering appetizers will tease your taste buds -- savory spreads, imported cheeses, crostini, crudités, and seafood. Culinary creations such as ginger/soy marinated salmon steaks; Dutch-oven spinach lasagna with pine nuts; and roasted prime rib of pork are accompanied by such sumptuous side dishes as reggae rice with black-eyed peas and roasted red peppers; southwest black bean and corn salad in a fresh squeezed lime/cilantro vinaigrette; or a Greek salad of mixed greens tossed with feta cheese and walnuts in a tomato basil vinaigrette. Save room for such sinful desserts as our rich pecan rum cake, Dutch-oven baked brownies, or our delicate Italian Tiramisu.

We serve Capricorn coffees from San Francisco, brewed cowboy-style. Assorted black and herbal teas, cocoa mix, and orange juice is available every morning. Chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon wines are served with every dinner. The drink cooler is accessible all day and is filled with cold sodas, beers and ales, canned fruit juices, and mineral waters. You'll receive a Canyons water bottle and have access to freshly filtered water all day. We bring about 2 beers and 2 sodas/juices per person each day. You are welcome to bring more of your own -- just let us know to ensure carrying capacity.

We are happy to adjust the menu for special dietary needs or requests. Vegetarian alternatives are no problem; we just need to know your preferences. We always have trail mix, dried fruit, and treats for between-meal snacks. We bring marshmallows and special treats for kids and have champagne for special occasions. Please, let us know if there's a birthday or other anniversary to celebrate!
