The Cataract Canyon Rafting Experience:
Traveling on a
motorized “J-rig” through Cataract Canyon on
the Colorado River provides a stable and comfortable rafting
experience. The Colorado River flows purposefully toward its confluence with
the Green River, where it doubles in force and becomes “Cataract
Canyon,” home of the world-famous “Big Drops” rapids.
There is time to hike, explore, and enjoying the grandeur of the National Park
(without the crowds).
Our professional
guides lead you through 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. The exclusive design keeps passengers
high and dry in the rapids. It is the best balance for time sensitive people
who want to enjoy the remote canyon wilderness.
In the heart of
Canyonlands National Park you will see spectacular rock formations that
have formed over millions of years. Juxtaposed with the excitement of the
rapids are stops at beautiful canyons, and camping in the breathtaking scenery
of the Colorado River.
There is time for hiking under
sculpted sandstone spires as well as visiting ancient Anasazi
petroglyphs and granaries.
