Please pack appropriate footwear to walk and keep you safe.

Sean’s biggest day on the water is a 30 mile 1 day trip from Antelope Point Public Launch Ramp to Labyrinth Canyon and back.
Sean is a trained and certified wilderness first responder, American Canoe Association L1 flat water Instructor, and currently training for his ACA L2 flat water SUP Instructor certification. Sean is a humble guy always looking for more answers to solutions through establishing a process.

Sean’s goal is to help you feel like a member of the team, a member of his family, or a member of his fan group.
Paddle with the Pros at Paddle Express. All reservations are delivered to the shoreline.
Currently the National Park is going through all necessary steps to make all facilities available, and accommodating for all, including retrofits to all facilities for persons with a disability or limited ability.
Some launch locations can be challenging to access from the last section of cement to the shoreline. Easy yet sometimes unstable footing can make short hiking trails challenging so proper footwear is advised. Trails have been created in popular locations like Antelope Point launch ramp for Antelope Canyon adventures.

Due to the time zones in the area make sure you set your phone on Phoenix, Az time to keep it simple.
Cellphone service is remote while Paddle Express is at the launch ramp during business hours handling customers so text messages are best. With lake levels extremely low please allow for extra time from your vehicle.
The goal is to help you chase the next experience, and feel VIP while doing it. We know how VIP handle time, and time is of the essence at Paddle Express.

Text is the best way to check in as the remote service area prevents Sean from getting emails right away when he is at the launch ramp with customers. Sean looks forward to launching you next so check in 60 minutes prior to your arrival to make sure you show up in the correct park lot and walk down the correct Launch Ramp.
Early morning reservations please check in the night before for weather purposes, extreme conditions (too cold) may cause delays. In the remote service area even Verizon the strongest provider struggles with data updates on the MMS system. SMS is faster! The prices are reasonable because Paddle Express doesn’t have a front office and therefore overhead is low.
Sean is a one man band most of the time making it happen for YOU! Time is a precious commodity around the lake, and Paddle Express is busy with customers day of so please do your research, be a student, come prepared, and be punctual. Make sure you check in, please.
Early morning reservations please check in the night before as well for weather conditions. Paddle Express can run across unforeseen conditions with other customers and allows up to 10 minutes past reservation time without being considered late for a delivery.
COLORADO RIVER HISTORY
COLORADO RIVER COMPACT
Colorado River Compact (water resources agreement) was signed by President Hoover in 1922 and roughly 15 million acre foot of water was allocated annually down stream. The number of 15 MAF was projected based off of numbers from the decade before, the 1910s. Historically over the century the 1910s ended up being a well above average decade for precipitation and overall watershed numbers within the upper basin region. The last two decades index in drought categories with average yields of roughly just under 12 million acre foot. 20 years of 3 million acre feet shy produces lakeshore loss and an average of 5-10 foot drops annually causing Lake Powell to be nearly 150’ below full capacity and barely 30% full.
COLORADO RIVER IMPACT
Colorado River region is separated by the upper and lower basins. The biggest industry the Colorado River impacts is the agricultural industry. 1/5 of the 15 MAF goes to the Imperial Valley. The Imperial Valley is the lettuce capital of the world and the annual gross is currently 1.4 billion in revenue and approximately 12 % of the U.S. GDP.
COLORADO RIVER BASINS
Lake Powell is in the lower part of upper Colorado River basin. Next is Lake Mead, then Lake Mojave and finally Lake Havasu.
