Trips

Westwater Canyon is a proposed Wild & Scenic River and combines all the components of a classic river trip: excellent whitewater, charming campsites, and great hikes. Part of the time you will drift leisurely at the rivers pace; then there is one day of extremely fun rapids. The Colorado River forces its way into narrow Black Granite Gorge forming renowned rapids like Little Hummer, Funnel Falls, Last Chance and the infamous Skull Rapid.

The first part of this adventure places you in the midst of stark and dramatic desert landscapes. There are two sections to Westwater Canyon with great contrast between the serene solitude of the upper canyon’s sandstone walls and the lower canyon’s black granite walls and impressive rapids. The awesome landscape and exhilarating rapids motivate you to release your busy life and embrace an adventurous, positive outlook.
