The Cataract Canyon Rafting Experience:
The 3 day
Highlights of Cataract Canyon Trips is all about
getting to the WHITEWATER!
The first day is
a mellow day on the river as we enter the spectacular landscape of Canyonlands
National Park. We will cover the first 50 miles the first day to get to the
Confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers. Then the fun really begins,
because this is where the rapids start. In high water, late May through early
June, the waves can be gigantic and in quick succession. They are more
moderate but still fun and exciting July through September. You will encounter
rapids with names like Capsize, North Sea's, Little Niagara, Satan's Gut and
Ben Hurt. As you continue downstream the rapids become more intense until you
enter the Big Drops the steepest descent on the entire Colorado River.
Our professional
guides lead you through the outstanding rapids with precision and ease. The
larger J-rig, which is maneuvered by an outboard motor, allows us to get
through the 96 miles of Cataract Canyon in less time. It is the best balance
for time sensitive people who want to enjoy the remote canyon wilderness. You
complete the day's run and relax on a sandy beach to recount the excitement.
After the whitewater, the Colorado River forces its way into Lake Powell.
Return to Moab
