CATARACT CANYON RIVER RAFTING ITINERARY:
DAY 1: Moab, Utah
Meet your guides and fellow travellers today at your
downtown Moab hotel. This evening attend a pre-trip briefing
that includes instruction for packing of your "dry bags." Gonzo
Inn
DAY 2: Moab/Colorado River
Drive to a section of the Colorado River that is broad and
quiet for your launch. Soon you find yourself captivated by the
pace of the river, the beautiful scenery and enjoying the
camaraderie of your fellow travellers. Float lazily under the
red cliff walls that tower 2,000 feet overhead. This evening,
relax and explore while the staff prepares camp and dinner.
Share stories of the day's adventure around the evening
campfire. A&K River Camp B L D
DAY 3: Colorado River
Board your raft and float deeper into Canyonlands National
Park where the spectacular scenery rivals the lower Grand
Canyon. Visit ancient, haunting Pueblo ruins and petroglyphs.
Later, enjoy the spectacular star-filled sky as you relax and
converse with your fellow travellers. A&K River Camp B L D
DAYS 4-5: Colorado River
The challenge begins at the confluence of the Green and
Colorado Rivers, where the river doubles in size and force as it
enters Cataract Canyon. Encounter the notorious "Mile-Long
Rapid," a series of sheer drops and furious whitewater followed
by rapids affectionately named Big Drops, Little Niagara and
Satan's Gut. A&K River Camp B L D
DAY 6: Colorado River/Moab
Traverse the remainder of the canyon during the day. At Hite
Marina, climb aboard your charter aircraft for a spectacular
flight over the canyons, en route to Moab where your journey
ends. B L
