Green River

For years, this site has served as a hub for coordinating our shared adventures down the Green River. Historically, we’ve used it to facilitate centralized expense-sharing among friends for what has always been a collaborative trip. However, we’ve recently become aware that such coordination could be interpreted as a commercial outfitting operation, requiring licensure that we neither possess nor intend to pursue.

To clarify: Unbound Fusion is not a commercial trip. It never has been. We are not offering outfitting or guiding services, nor are we selling tickets or leading a formal event.

If you’re interested in joining the 2025 trip, please reach out directly to someone who has participated in previous years. They can provide insights into how the trip functions and how to get involved.

in 2025 we are changing the intenary for our trip. This year we will be starting at Mineral Bottoms (where we have taken-out in past years) and we will float, dance the 5 days of the magnificent Stillwater section of The Green River down to the confluence of The Colorado River.

At this point, those wishing to do just the non-technical river portion of the trip will motorboat the 47 miles up the Colorado River and be dropped off in Moab, UT. The other half of the trip will continue another 5 days down the Colorado River through the world renowned Cataract Canyon.  If you do not know Cataract Canyon, please read the linked description of Cataract Canyon.

This is still a 5 to 10 day, non-commercial, river float trip down Stillwater Canyon and the possible add-on of Cataract Canyon in central Utah's breathtaking canyon country. It's a trip of a lifetime. It will be difficult. We will be floating all day with thousand-plus-foot sandstone cliffs towering above us. At night we'll camp on sandbars where we'll fold out the dance floor and kitchen, feast, dance, and party until the wee hours of the night in one of the most remote areas of the United States.

If you do not feel courageous, this trip is probably not for you. It's not designed to be easy or comfortable, but rather hedonistic and aspirational. It will inspire us into what we did not know we were capable of becoming as individuals, as a cohesive group, and as a community.  To be clear: this is not a dance festival, this is not Recess. This is a private river trip organized by Justin Riley and with the additional river guides and material support of Recess and other trip captains and organizers from throughout the dance community.

The White Water Section: 5 days down Cataract Canyon

There are only a limited number of permit spots on the second portion of the trip down Cataract Canyon. All registrants without their own Class IV able whitewater boat will be put on a waiting list that will be approved as space allows and boat-owners opt-into to the trip. Participants with their own white-water capable boats will be able to fill their boats with their choosen crew. If they have more space available, we will draw from the waiting list of extended dance community members. For each additional person a boat captain takes from the waiting list they can help plug into the group cost management for financial support from their boat crew. If you are a boat captain and want to bring a boat, reach out to Justin directly to talk details.
