First time hiking, and possibly first time sinking?

Hi all, I live in Southern Colorado and after very little convincing (we have talked about it off and on for the passed 6 years or so), my wife and I are going hiking to look for deep mud, in all honesty I have NO IDEA what I'm doing apart from reading how to escape and basic safety, I tried looking around yahoo answers for locations (yeah I know lol), but I guess here is the best place lol, I bought a recreations map of the state, there are a lot of rivers and creeks where we live but I have no real experience with hiking at all and she hates the outdoors (but is willing to make an exception for the whole deep mud thing lol and hiking to get there obviously.
The creek that I think sounds (idk any more than that) promising is La Garita creek? It has a natural wonder near it the map says, an eroded arch from volcanic activity or something lol, and if I may ask a question on finding mud, we need to follow the river, creek or stream down stream correct? Like I said I'm new to exploring lol any advice and hints would be helpful and greatly appreciated, thank you!
