The Cataract
Canyon Experience
Deep within the boundaries of Canyonlands National Park, Cataract Canyon offers a perfect balance between serene floating, incredible hiking, and fast-moving rapids. 300 million years of rock history, abstract sculpted sandstone spires, and ancient Anasazi petroglyphs and granaries grace Cataract Canyon.
There are beautiful beach camps and plenty of time to do all the great hikes and numerous camp activities. We stop daily for hikes up secret canyons only accessible by river. We’ll visit ancestral structures, waterfalls in spring, incredible rock formations and simply enjoy the solitude.
The longer trips allow for more hiking and time in camp. The Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park offers some of the most outstanding hikes in all of Utah.
The trips in May and June in Cataract Canyon have some of the biggest and most challenging whitewater in the United States. This is a thrill seeker’s dream, with stunningly powerful rapids. For those seeking “moderate” excitement, late summer trips feature rapids that have fun rolling waves.
