Colorado River RaftingThese whitewater rafting trips are located on the Colorado/Utah border or on the Colorado River and feature some of the region’s most remote and beautiful river rafting country.
Colorado River Rafting: Westwater CanyonWestwater offers great rapids in what many consider to be the most scenic canyon on the Colorado River. There are wonderful camping beaches here, along with interesting side canyons and historic sites (Native American, outlaw and pioneer.) This is a great choice for people seeking a shorter trip that doesn’t skimp on excitement. Colorado River Rafting: Cataract CanyonCataract Canyon of the Colorado River takes you to the heart of Canyonlands National Park. Otherwise inaccessible side canyons, pristine camping beaches and the largest rapids the Colorado River has to offer await you. Prehistoric Native American sites are a short walk from rivers edge. If you want to see the best of the Colorado River and truly get away from it all, this is the one. Yampa River RaftingThe Yampa is the last undammed river in the Colorado River system. The best Colorado River Rafting occurs during May and June, when spring flows crank the rapids up to high adventure. Warm Springs Rapid is rated among the 10 biggest drops in the country. Miles of tiger-striped walls make this one of the most photogenic canyons around. Other attractions include side-canyon waterfalls, Ancestral Puebloan rock art and whispering caves. Green River Rafting: Lodore CanyonLodore Canyon provided the first major test for John Wesley Powell on his famous explorations, and his descriptive names live on today: Disaster Falls, Triplet Falls and Hells Half Mile challenge river runners. This trip takes you into the rugged backcountry of Dinosaur National Monument, past scenic vermillion cliffs and rainbow-colored rock formations.
