Westwater Canyon River Rafting

The best one day Whitewater Trip in the West

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 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 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 with rapid names like 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.

1. FULL DAY on the river,

The Sheri Griffith Difference:

Sheri Griffith Expeditions brings the experience of 37 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.

"There is one aspect of Sheri Griffith Expeditions that is constantly amazing. The quality of the river guides is ALWAYS extraordinaire." Scott Harvey
