Cataract Canyon Explodes with Adventure
|
Where the Colorado and Green Rivers meet in a majestic setting called "The Confluence," Cataract Canyon begins. This four-day trip launches just up-river where the docile side of the Colorado belies the explosive force of rapids experienced three days later. The smooth-flowing currents wind through Canyonlands National Park where sculptured sandstone, isolated buttes, and redrock castles offer unparalleled vistas for hiking and picture-taking. The mood of the river changes drastically as the canyon deepens to 2,000 feet and explodes into an all day fury of whitewater rapids. In one of the Colorado River's steepest stretches called The Big Drop, your raft plunges thirty feet in a matter of minutes through rapids that match those of the Grand Canyon in power and difficulty. Rafters loosen their grip after Rapid 28, bidding farewell to the roar and welcoming the final miles to Lake Powell where motor coaches return tired rafters to Moab. Brandon Lake, vice president of Western River Expeditions, the largest professional river outfitter in the west, says this trip provides all the action of a Grand Canyon adventure, but in half the time. "For the time and the cost, you can't beat Cataract for big rapids and extreme beauty."
