Colorado River Rafting » 2 Day Cataract Canyon Express

DAY 1 After a short drive from the unique town of Moab, Utah we launch our rafts onto a calm section of the Colorado River. Within minutes, unmatched geologic marvels tower all around us. We’ll stop for hikes to Native American ruins and writings, awe-inspiring vistas from atop plateaus, and relaxing floats amidst the shadows of striking red rock spires. Around mid-day you’ll savor a scrumptious buffet lunch at the river’s edge. Later in the evening we’ll set up camp. Enjoy a delicious sunset dinner, relax beside a crackling campfire, and star gaze as you’re lulled to sleep by the rhythmic sounds of the river.

DAY 2 Enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast. Marvel as the morning sun paints its warmth across the surrounding canyon walls. Then set off for a day of serious adventure. As the canyon deepens to over 2,000 feet, you’ll experience nearly 30 whitewater rapids including Capsize, the Big Drops, the Mile Longs, Little Niagra, Satan’s Gut and Repeat. After reaching Lake Powell, you can complete your day with an optional flight over Canyonlands National Park where you’ll see dramatic rock formations and review your river journey from the air.

NOTE: Canyonlands Scenic Return Flight including shuttle from airport to Moab is available for $115 per person. Flight time is approximately 1 hour.
