Shuttle Costs
We are a small company that books up throughout the season because of our service, expertise, and dedication in offering our specialized trips. Prices are fixed per your specific group size reservation, so please no discounts or haggling.
SHUTTLES ARE NOT PRIVATE! If you would like a private shuttle, you must pay for each seat in the 15 Passenger Van(s)!
The Green River
Avoid the excessive wear and tear on your vehicle in driving down our rugged backcountry roads, as well as paying for the gas, vehicle shuttle cost, as well as the cost of your precious vacation time all to have your vehicle moved! We provide a convenient River Shuttle Service for those who have their own gear and do not need to rent gear from us.
Labyrinth Canyon

MRCC is one of the few companies that allows your “best friend” to join you on your canoeing river trip! We can move dogs on the shuttles, at $20 per dog. (Not all dogs like being in a canoe, so think this one through. Remember, this is a river, not a lake. Dogs are not allowed in the Canyonlands National Park, Stillwater Canyon)

If you are considering doing your own shuttle up or down Mineral Bottom road: This is a very steep and precarious switchback, dirt road (no joke!). It is 1 ½ miles on a one lane road, descending 900 feet. You need a 4 wheel drive vehicle with high clearance. It is at least 1 ½ hours from Moab to Mineral Bottom (one way). Leave it to the professionals!
NOTE: If there is inclement weather such as rain, snow, ice, etc., Mineral Bottom road becomes impassable for shuttle vehicles (which means hiking down and back up the switchbacks with only as much gear/belongings that can be carried).

Self-Guided MULTI-DAY Trips, Shuttles, Rental Equipment, ETC.: A $100 non-refundable per person deposit is required to secure your trip date for Self-Guided Multi-Day Trips. Due to the extensive planning of Multi-Day Trips for customers, it is not likely that we will be able to rebook your reserved dates if you cancel. Also, we more than likely have had to turn others away for your booked dates. The full amount of your trip (including rental equipment) is due and will be charged to your Visa or Mastercard only given 30 days from the date of your trip. CANCELLATIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR RESERVATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND. Regarding the possibility of having to cancel, we strongly suggest you purchase Trip Cancellation Insurance to protect your vacation investment, as there are NO EXCEPTIONS OUTSIDE THE CANCELLATION POLICY. It is our policy to reserve the right to cancel any trip at the last minute for any reason. Should this occur, no money will be exchanged. If conditions allow, we will postpone for a few hours or to the next day.
**MRCC’S Policy: BE NICE OR LEAVE…River trips are supposed to be fun, right?! We go out of our way to be exceedingly nice and, therefore, reserve the right to refuse service and trips (now AND in the future) to those who do not follow our policies and who are rude, disrespectful or abusive to our staff, company, and/or equipment.
