Colorado River Rafting Trips in Utah

Rafting the Westwater Canyon and Cataract Canyon in Utah

The Colorado River in Utah offers two outstanding sections of whitewater rafting.

Westwater Canyon, often called a miniature Grand Canyon, is the answer for the person who is short on time but wants it all...a wilderness canyon so stunningly beautiful you 'll have no doubt but to leave the world behind. The finale - world class whitewater.

Cataract Canyon is a legendary gorge buried in the heart of Utah's Canyonlands National Park. In the first part of the trip the current slides you quietly past brilliantly colored cliffs and towering table-top mesas. Here the river conditions both body and soul, giving you time to prepare yourself for the behemoth rapids awaiting below the confluence of the Green and Colorado. Twenty-three BIG ONES, among them Mile Long, Ben Hurt and the grand-daddy of them all, The Big Drops, a succession of three big-hitters that will take you laughing and cheering, 30 feet closer to sea level in less than a mile.
