This cruise will take you down the Colorado River, following the route that the early paddle-wheeler boats used to bring supplies to Ft Yuma and Castle Dome Mine via Castle Dome Landing. During your cruise, you will travel along through picturesque and often breathtaking scenery. Your cruise will take you all the way down to the crest of Imperial Dam.
