River Trips

Last Descents organizes between five and seven participatory river expeditions every year. We work with our clients and partners to coordinate each and every one of our trips to have a specific social or environmental purpose. Sometimes that may mean documenting a river canyon photographically for a gallery showing in Beijing, or running a first descent of a run that may potentially turn into a classic recreational run, or working together with scholars, media, government, and local communities and organizations to bring a certain canyon into the public eye.

The link at the top of the page will show you our current trip schedule, however if none of the listed trips fit with your ability or interest, please contact us!

We typically coordinate with individuals who can pull together eight to ten people for a full trip; however, if you an individual interested in a trip or learning about how you can be involved, we would love to hear from you too. It is best to start the organization process eight months to a year in advance.

Upcoming Trips

We found another Grand Canyon. Read here for more on our first descent of the Salween this September.

Think Tank on the Yangtze a huge success.
