The Colorado River in Moab, Utah

The Colorado River isn't the longest river in the world, it's not the most useful for shipping and trade, but it's probably the first river that comes to mind when the world thinks of famous whitewater rapids. It is referred to as "the mighty Colorado River" so often you may think that "mighty" is part of its name! The legendary canyons carved by this powerhouse of erosion lend further credence to its mythic might: Westwater Canyon, iconic Castle Valley, Cataract Canyon, and Glen Canyon. All are found within Utah's boundaries and Moab, Utah is perfectly central to any plans for exploration.

Millions are drawn to this region every year due to convenient starting location of Moab, Utah, gateway to not only Cataract Canyon and Canyonlands National Park, but also, the world-renowned Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, Desolation Canyon, and nearby Zions, Bryce, Capitol Reef National Parks. As you may expect, we preach that the only way to really explore this region, to understand the soul of canyon country, is to see it by river. It's why we do what we do!

Rafting with Grandpa on the Green River

"I've been surprised by the beauty of Utah, in general. The scenery of Desolation Canyon is, I think, more impressive than the Grand Canyon. The kids are always going to remember Grandpa doing this with them."
