COLORADO RIVER / WESTWATER CANYON (Class 3-4) ONE-DAY WHITEWATER - (DEPARTS DAILY)

This proposed Wild and Scenic River is totally isolated from modern civilization. Westwater Canyon is a canyon of serene solitude surrounded by red sandstone spires. The river cascades through the ever-deepening sandstone monuments and into the narrow Black Granite Gorge. Here the river meets opposition from the canyon walls creating the fast and furious rapids such as Funnel Falls, Last Chance, The Steps, and of course, the infamous Skull Rapid that give Westwater its reputation of highly exciting rafting trips on the Colorado.

This trip is designed for adventure seekers and canyon lovers and especially those looking for great rapids on a remote and regulated river. The number of people allowed to run the Westwater Canyon is strictly regulated, therefore, keeping the number of people on the river to a very small amount. This will allow for a better chance of seeing wildlife and just experiencing the true remoteness of the Westwater Canyon.

Meet at our office at 6:45 am. Departs daily at 7:00 am; Return about 5:00 pm

Adult $159 Child $159 (must be 10 years or older) [BLM $7/person fee not included]

(Note: Westwater April and October are $139 per person.) [BLM $7/person fee not included]

CANYONLANDS - A.M./P.M. HALF DAY

Bring twice as much film as you would expect to use; the scenery on this trip consumes film at an astonishing rate!

ALL-DAY TRIP TO DISCOVER THE PREHISTORY OF THE MOAB AREA

This trip is designed to demonstrate the rich prehistory of this area. Using the required 4- wheel drive vehicle we will travel on both highway and backcountry roads.

We will visit a site with dinosaur bones in situ and a site of massive sauropod tracks that is one of the first trackways showing how these animals traveled. Other dinosaur discoveries will be discussed.

The geological formations will be explored and their structure and naming process will be explained. Why different formations erode at different rates and in different manners will be explained. We will also look at how these formations provided ideal conditions for the accumulation of uranium that lead to Moab being a major supplier of this material during the "Cold War" era.

CANYONLANDS BY JET BOAT

Step aboard the D. Julien for your trip into the canyon country of southeast Utah! Named after the first European known to visit the Green and Colorado rivers and what are now Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, our powerful jet boat will allow you to explore the river canyons between Moab and Canyonlands National Park. Soaring canyon walls, towering cliffs of a thousand hues, and always, the quiet majesty of the great river provide the background.

Herons and egrets stalk the beaches and sandbars, ravens and eagles soar overhead. Deer, beaver, porcupines, and even bobcat and bighorn sheep may be seen along the river banks. Learn the history of the area - "wildcat" oil drillers, ranchers, and early steamboat ventures. Pause now and then for an easy stroll to points of interest and, on full-day trips, for an elaborate picnic lunch served to leave an indelible impression.
