COLORADO RIVER/CATARACT CANYON
EXPEDITIONS/CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK
This 120-mile expedition takes you through the renowned
Cataract Canyon in Canyonlands National Park. It offers
some of the wildest, most exciting whitewater in the country
during the months of May, June and early July, when the
spring run-off fills the canyon's watercourse with raging
torrents. From July to October, the river calms itself with
lower water, but is by no means placid. Later summer offers
pristine sandbars and warm water. (3% access fee not
included in all Cataract Canyon trips)

GREEN
RIVER/DESOLATION CANYON EXPEDITIONS
Desolation Canyon is perhaps our most popular family river
vacation. A less-known national treasure, Desolation is
one of the most scenic, historic and colorful waterway areas
on the western rivers. Its brightly colored formations are monuments
to the force of Mother Nature.
Wildlife thrives: you may see mule deer, desert bighorn sheep,
prairie dogs, or waterfowl and desert birds, along with yucca,
sage, numerous cacti and wildflowers. Huge cottonwood trees
over untouched beaches offer exquisite campsites.
Feel the power of the river pull as your oar or paddle raft
drifts along the calmer sections of the Green. Desolation Canyon
has an abundant supply of rapids; over 60 overall on this 84-mile
trip. The trip begins with a scenic charter flight from Moab
to the trip's put-in site at Sand Wash. Additional launch
dates are often available. Please inquire with our office.
