Colorado River Rafting

The Colorado River is the lifeblood of the entire southwestern United States. Its powerful waters, which start high on the Continental Divide in Colorado, surge down the mountains and through America’s great Southwestern deserts all the way to Mexico. The river feeds thousands of communities along the way.

Hidden along its path are wonderful steep-walled canyons that were carved by this powerful force of nature over the thousands of years. To experience the Colorado River up close and personal, on a few-day Colorado River rafting trip or a week-long Utah river rafting family vacation, is a lifetime experience not to be missed.

• Beautiful river canyons
• Thrilling whitewater rapids
• Fascinating ancestral structures and petroglyphs
• A variety of trips lengths and styles

The river’s heart pounding rapids and gentle, soothing flows are just the vehicle for your transport into a world beyond anything familiar. The 2,000-foot-high red rock canyon walls reveal a fresh, amazing view with every twist and turn.

Soft, sandy beaches offer secluded living spaces where you’ll reconnect with family and friends. Side canyons that feed the main river reveal a lush, green oasis that defies any ideas about the desert. We’ll hike alongside fresh water runoff that trickles through red stone sculpted so smooth it looks like marble. You’ll discover thriving plants, see ancestral structures, and possibly view a pristine waterfall. The light changes every minute, casting shadows and shining brightly on nature’s amazing beauty.

You’ll enjoy the best river cuisine on our rafting trips. Think expertly grilled steaks, crisp salads bursting with veggies, fresh fruit at every meal and full breakfasts with eggs to order. Delicious!
