Plan Your Private River Trip With Confidence
From permits and campsites to meal planning, gear coordination, shuttle logistics, and custom itineraries, Moki Canyon provides comprehensive planning services so you can spend less time stressing over details and more time looking forward to your adventure.
Why Moki Canyon?
Planning a successful river trip takes more than enthusiasm; it takes experience.
With 17 years of river running experience, I've learned that the best trips begin long before launch day. From permits and campsites to meal planning, gear coordination, shuttle logistics, and custom itineraries, I help private boaters navigate the details with confidence so they can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the river.
Whether you're planning your first private river trip or leading a complex expedition, my goal is to simplify the planning process and help you feel prepared every step of the way.

How It Works
I was recently invited on a private Grand Canyon trip, and while I was SO EXCITED to go on this adventure, I had only done smaller 3-4 day rafting trips under my belt and knew I was lacking a lot of the knowledge and organization that was needed for this trip.
Enter Carrie Raissle. I had all of my equipment and personal items that I thought I needed laid out in a room. Carrie came to my home, took note of my "stock," and helped me make a few lists. She addressed what I needed to bring, what I could get away with not bringing, and then gave amazing advice on ways to make the trip more memorable (theme nights and daily journals, anyone?) When I collected everything, Carrie came back over and helped me pack in a way that made sense for ease of access and amount of use.
The knowledge, planning, organizational, and calm mindset were exactly what I needed to feel truly prepared for my 21-day October rafting trip!!! I highly recommend Carrie's services for a fresh perspective, regardless of your experience level!
