Trips

Desolation Canyon offers 84 miles of 50 class I-III rapids that start the second day of the trip and build each day until the largest and best rapids the last day. These rapids are full of big rolling waves, not difficult but exciting and great fun – perfect for learning to maneuver an inflatable kayak.

Just the PERFECT family river trip: Colorful history, fun moderate whitewater, family bonding like no other vacation.

The 5 Day Family Trip on the Green River offers a chance for the whole family to escape. This trip offers exceptional bonding opportunities, fun whitewater, charming camp sites on sandy beaches, stunning geological features, ancient and recent western history, and it all begins with a scenic flight to the launch site!

Our guides have interpretive training. They’ve developed great outdoor educational and environmentally sensitive activities and games. These activities and games incorporate camping, outdoor safety, basic first aid, history, geology, hydrology, wildlife, plant life and, of course, river running skills.

Hiking, water games and building sandcastles provide quality interaction. Our guides take adults and children on educational and fun outings where everyone can interact with nature. Desolation Canyon trips offer opportunities to take a leisurely walk, somewhat demanding hikes and opportunities to enjoy the camaraderie of the other guests.

Fun Fact: Desolation Canyon is registered on the National Register of Historic Places, and is possibly one of the most remote areas in the contiguous United States.
