Trip Description: |
The Colorado River Rafting Experience:
YOU WANT MORE
THAN A FLOAT TRIP, BUT YOU ONLY HAVE ONE DAY TO SPARE?
Join us on
Westwater Canyon , the best short whitewater trip available in the West.
National Geographic has joined us in Westwater Canyon to photograph and write
of the dramatic scenery and its unique wildlife habitat. This legendary canyon
of powerful rapids and outstanding scenery is highly respected by river runners
and professional guides alike. This proposed Wild and Scenic River is
totally isolated from modern civilization: a canyon of serene solitude
surrounded by red sandstone spires. 
The river
cascades through the ever-deepening sandstone monuments and into the narrow
Black Granite Gorge. Here the river meets opposition from the canyon walls,
creating the fast and furious rapids that give Westwater its reputation:
Funnel Falls, Last Chance, Bowling Alley, and, of course, the infamous Skull
Rapid.
This trip is
designed for adventure seekers and canyon lovers, for those looking for great
rapids on the Colorado River. There are two boat options for those interested in
Westwater Canyon. An oarboat is an 18 foot inflatable raft maneuvered by a
guide with a set of oars secured in the middle of the raft. A paddleboat is a
16 foot inflatable raft manned by passengers and their paddles, with the guide
navigating from the back of the raft. WHAT IS INCLUDED:
- FULL DAY on the river,

The Sheri Griffith Difference:
Sheri Griffith Expeditions
brings the experience of 39 years in the outdoor recreation
industry to the "Westwater
Canyon" river trip. Through out this time we've learned how to make you
feel comfortable and safe on the river. This knowledge has helped us create
comforts that many other outfitters can't provide. Through extensive training
and workshops, our company's experience has been built upon and passed down
throughout all of our 36 years in business. You will see our experience in the
quality of equipment, food, and staff on each trip.
Our guides are
professional, exceptional people with outstanding talents, who are eager to
share their knowledge, experience, and enjoyment of life in the outdoors. This
group of guides is by far the best on the river. They continually strive to
perfect their understanding of our wilderness and its secrets. This is their
way of life, and their passion is to share this adventurous way of life with
you.
