Days One and Two Glide
along on smooth-flowing currents winding through Canyonlands National
Park. Sculpted sandstone, isolated buttes, and red rock castles
offer unparalleled vistas for picture taking. Hike to ancient
Indian ruins, pictographs, a breathtaking outlook high above the
mighty Colorado, and powerful Indian Creek Falls. Capture the
excitement to come with rapids before camp on the second day.
Day Three As the canyon deepens to 2,000 feet, the mood
of the river changes drastically. Here you'll exprerience over
30 whitewater rapids! In one of the Colorado’s most notorious
stretches called the "Big Drops", your raft plunges
30 feet in a matter of minutes through rapids that match those
of the Grand Canyon in power and difficulty. Loosen your grip
after Imperial Rapid and perhaps explore the tranquil pools and
majestic falls of Dark Canyon. Relax and enjoy a night of camping
where the river meets Lake Powell.
Day Four Savor a soothing
morning in the sun-drenched canyons of Lake Powell. Enjoy lunch
and a refreshing swim in a shady canyon cove, before bidding farewell
to the mighty Colorado and your many new friends. Experience an
optional scenic return flight to Moab over Canyonlands National
Park.
July & August Paddle Option
As the water slows its pace in July and August, we change from
37' J-Rig rafts to 18' oar boats, and smaller paddle rafts - making
these trips more suitable for teens or active adults. If you are
looking for a more "hands-on" experience, these later
trips are ideal. Legendary whitewater in Cataract Canyon provides
endless excitement whether you choose the larger J-rigs in June
or the smaller boats in July & August. Note: The date in July
at which we switch to the smaller boats is determined by water
levels which are difficult to predict before spring.
Optional
Extensions Add a 2.5-Hour Sunset Hummer® Safari or
Sunset Bus Tour upon your return to Moab. Or you can add
2 days at Sorrel River Ranch which includes a Horseback Ride,
and Hummer® Safari. Our friendly staff will be happy to help
you with any extentions you desire.
