We’ve always enjoyed giving a small gift to passengers before their trip starts — historically, it’s been a mug or a cup of some sort. Back in the day, you’d be lucky to get a plastic cup with the company’s sticker on it. We’ve evolved from that to a new eco-friendly option. We at Grand Canyon Whitewater are proud to partner with Leave No Trace and Klean Kanteen to give you this awesome 12 oz. stainless steel vacuum insulated mug. We’re very excited to be partnering with two organizations as committed as we are to preservation and sustainability. These mugs are great on the river; they are nearly indestructible and can keep things hot or cold for hours, which means you can reduce your impact on the environment by reusing these mugs for years and years. We also love having the Leave No Trace principles printed right on the mugs, as good reminders while you’re on the river or while you’re just out and about on your daily adventures. We want you to have something reliable to use on your river trip, but we also want you to continue to use your mug once you’re back home! Reuse, reuse, reuse, reuse, amirite?

So! Did you know you can buy all kinds of handy dandy little add-ons to help your river trip mug transition to a life beyond the river? For example! You can turn your mug into your yoga water bottle or your cycling water bottle by picking up a Chug Cap. You can turn it into a Straw Cap or just leave the awesome sports cap on it that it came with. Sling a carabiner through there, and attach your mug to just about anything! We’ve also seen plastic slide-on rings that have handles on them, so you could adorn your mug with a handle. If you lost yours or want to gift this great mug to someone, we do sell them on our online shop.

When you arrive at the river for your trip, these mugs will be waiting for you along with your issued dry bags and sleeping kit.

So sit back, relax and enjoy a drink on us.
