Overview

This trip is the best short whitewater trip in the West: a legendary remote canyon of powerful rapids and outstanding canyon scenery. You don’t have to be experienced, just be looking for some adventure and a lot of fun.

This part of the Colorado River is full of birdlife 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 snows melt and runoff from the Colorado Rockies. Each water level produces different whitewater challenges. The first day we spend exploring the canyon's secrets while the second day we experience the Colorado Rivers wild side in the exciting rapids.
