The Ultimate River Rafting Trip

One National Park, Two Rivers, Three Canyons: ONE Great Adventure

The multi-faceted “John Wesley Powell Adventure” combines magnificent wonder, spectacular whitewater challenge and triumphant personal achievement. It is the ideal balance of serenity, thrill, and fascination that will transform your life.

The expedition begins in serene Labyrinth Canyon on the Green River with sea kayaks, and then transitions to oarboats and the monumental whitewater in Cataract Canyon. The experience culminates at Lake Powell with a breathtaking scenic flight over Canyonlands National Park back to Moab. This is an unparalleled adventure vacation experience.

Major John Wesley Powell made his historic and courageous journey on the Green/Colorado Rivers in 1869. Powell was looking to map the previously unexplored Green River from Wyoming to Mexico. Now, you get to follow part of Powell’s historic journey (with way more amenities, guides who know where they’re going, and much, much better food!) The first five days are in sea kayaks on the upper section of the Green River in Labyrinth Canyon. After the fifth day you switch into rowboats and enter Canyonlands National Park through Stillwater Canyon. On day 7 you meet the Colorado River at the “Confluence.” Here is where the world famous whitewater starts. On day 10 you meet Lake Powell and your unforgettable river journey transitions to a scenic plane flight over the canyon and river you just explored. Click to see Cataract Canyon History

There is 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, incredible rock formations and enjoy the solitude of this seldom seen stretch of river.

The oarboat is the traditional raft on the Colorado River and sea kayaks are very popular on the flat-water of the Green River. These types of craft place you ‘up close and personal’ with the river and nature. It’s a pure wilderness river trip combining all the comforts needed to enjoy the outdoors
