2 days of exciting Colorado River rafting!

Trip Description:

The Wild Westwater Canyon Rafting Experience:

The 2 day Wild Westwater Canyon trip is perfect for those who have never camped or just want to give river rafting a try for the first time. This part of the Colorado River is full of bird life ranging from bald eagles to great blue herons. National Geographic's "Wild and Scenic Rivers" describes Westwater Canyon as "The best short whitewater trip in the west."

This particular stretch of the Colorado River is wild and free flowing, resulting in a variety of water levels throughout the rafting season as the snow melts and runs off the Colorado Rockies. Each water level produces different whitewater challenges. The first day we spend exploring the canyons secrets while the second day we experience the Colorado Rivers wild side in the exciting rapids.

The narrow canyon of 1.7 billion-year-old black schist rock is a sharp contrast to the red rock cliffs preceding and following the whitewater sectionof the river. Indian pictographs and other relics of human and natural history are some of the hiking highlights. On day two, the guides navigate the rafts down a series of rapids with names like Sock-it-to-Me; Funnel Falls, Last Chance, and of course, the infamous Skull Rapid. After the rapids, there is time to high-five and relive the past few hours with the other guests. Click to learn about the history of Westwater Canyon.
