Relax, enjoy the scenery and stage water fights on easy, flatwater sections on the Green or Colorado rivers. Feel the excitement of riding the unique "sand waves" on the San Juan River. Challenge the powerful whitewater in Westwater, Lodore and other famous canyons. Hang on for dear life in Grand and Cataract canyons, over infamous drops like Satan's Gut, Little Niagara and Lava Falls.
Professional guides will provide proper equipment and make sure your trip is safe and enjoyable. On multi-day trips participants camp on the river's edge, usually on sandy beaches in scenic areas. Most guides are accomplished chefs and provide exquisite meals.
River trips are about more than whitewater and excitement. Most allow participants to explore scenic, historic and archaeological sites and to learn about river lore, geology and the environment. It is great fun to swim in a crystal clear waterfall, explore 1000 year old Anasazi ruins and hike to scenic viewpoints overlooking this classic canyon country landscape. Most of all, trips are about having fun breaking free from the pressures of modern life. You may never want to return home.
