Western River Trip Reviews

My son and I traveled from Orlando. The trip started with a fun day at Bar 10 ranch. Horseback riding, skeet shooting, and ATV riding were all first times for my son. We stayed in old covered wagons. They looked dicey at first but actually were pretty fun.

The actual river trip started the next morning. The rafting was peaceful at times...Read More ›

Western River Expedition 6 2022   152 of 296

I was privileged to be part of the Hoagland party (Hoagie!). I also had the privilege of taking my 77yr old Aunt Cindy. The guides were amazing! Ben B was at the helm, and his readings and anecdotes, philosophy, and humor was priceless. All of the guides gave everyone such comfort in their leadership. The excursions of hikes, waterfalls, ...Read More ›

The Desolation Canyon trip far exceeded my expectations. Our trip leader, Mya, and her team were exceptional. They were always concerned with our safety, comfort, and overall fun experience. They cooked great meals and were available to help with whatever we needed.

I did want to know more about the geological and history of the area but...Read More ›

Every part of our Desolation Canyon trip exceeded expectations. Being completely disconnected from technology and surrounded by the beauty of nature for five days was so refreshing. Sleeping under the stars at night is something we will always remember. The food was top-notch. It was truly astonishing the surprises the guides kept pulling from the...Read More ›

Desolation Canyon was an amazing experience. Beautiful scenery, fun rapids, and great meals. But what made it so great for my kids was the guides. My kids were crying at the end of the trip because they felt like they were having to say by to people who had become family. Western hires the best guides and they turned our trip into an adventure my...Read More ›
Cataract Canyon Jrig Whitewater Approach 1598904203
We enjoyed the trip. Truly an adventure due to a hole in one of the rafts, causing changes to the schedule and planned camping site. We made due and enjoyed the people around us. Mostly happy with the vegan accommodations, but would have hoped for more variety. The guides were great and most of them made an effort to interact with everyone. Getting...Read More ›

We had such a wonderful experience with Western River Expedition's 7-day Grand Canyon adventure in September 2018 that we immediately afterwards said, "We're doing that again!" Our June 2022 trip was equally rewarding! We got to see some new things--the Little Colorado blue instead of brown, Elves Chasm--and some familiar things--Redwall Cavern and...Read More ›

We did Desolation Canyon with my husband, 7-year-old, and my parents. To say we had an amazing time is an understatement. I chose this trip since they allowed children. There were plenty of other kids on the trip to pal around with and he loved it. The rapids were enough to get a good ride, but not so daunting I had to worry about my...Read More ›
