Utah Rafting

The Green, Colorado, and Yampa Rivers wind through stunning desert landscapes of rock, sky, and unaltered wilderness of Utah. We offer four river trips, each with a unique experience with something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for one big day of whitewater or ten leisurely days floating in your own inflatable kayak, Utah has a river for you. We only work with trusted outfitters, many who have been in operation since the dawn of whitewater recreation.

 

Rich with some of the most remote and breathtaking landscapes in the country, Utah is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Spectacular canyons, Native American ruins, dinosaur habitats and some of America’s most sought after rafting adventures make Utah an adventurer’s dream. Those looking for more scenery and more mellow whitewater will like Desolation Canyon on the Green River. The Yampa River and Lodore Canyon have dramatic scenery as well and more intensive whitewater.
