The Green River Wilderness
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.
