Join us for River Talk from the Groover: Stories, Stewardship & Season Prep—a campfire-style gathering hosted by GVORC in partnership with The Gear Junction, Moki Canyon, and Trail Life Brewing.
Set in a relaxed (yes, groover-adjacent) environment, this event brings the river community together for open conversation, shared experience, and practical insight as we head into the season. We’ll cover trip planning and permits, river regulations, stewardship practices, and real-world tips for navigating the months ahead.
This is also a chance to connect with partners supporting river users and conservation efforts. Collaborators will share brief updates on upcoming projects, events, or opportunities.
At its core, River Talk is about connection—to each other, to the river, and to the shared responsibility of protecting these places for seasons to come.
Program Lineup:
Welcome - Chandler Smith, GVORC
Low Water & Heavy Loads - Carrie Raissle, Moki Canyon
River Regulations & Permitting - Alan Duncan, BLM
Rig Like A Pro - Cole Hanson, The Gear Junction
River Voices - Glen Canyon Institute & Returning Rapids Project
FREE TO ATTEND
Come for a beer, stay for the program, win some prizes!
