Deep within the boundaries of Canyonlands National
Park, Cataract Canyon is a perfect balance between serene floating, incredible
hiking, and fast-moving rapids. 300 million years of rock history, abstract
sculpted sandstone spires, and ancient Anasazi petroglyphs and granaries grace
Cataract Canyon.
The longer trips allow for more hiking and time in
camp. The Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park offers
some of the most outstanding hikes in all of Utah.
The trips in May and June in Cataract Canyon have
some of the biggest and most challenging whitewater in the United States. This
is a thrill seeker's dream, with stunningly powerful rapids. For those seeking
"moderate" excitement, late summer trips feature rapids that have fun rolling
waves.
There are beautiful beach camps and plenty of time
to do all the great hikes and numerous camp activities. We stop daily for hikes
up secret canyons only accessible by river. We'll visit Native American Anasazi
ruins, waterfalls in spring, incredible rock formations and enjoy the solitude.
