Westwater Canyon – Raft the Colorado River
With its hard-kicking class III-IV rapids and polished black Pre-Cambrian gorge, Westwater presents a unique opportunity for a "Grand Canyon-like" adventure in a much shorter period of time. National Geographic Magazine called Westwater Canyon "The World's Best Short Whitewater Trip." We offer 1, and 2-Day Westwater Canyon rowing expeditions. A 1-day trip is fun and exciting, but spending a night on the river will give you more time to absorb Westwater's wild character and beautiful scenery.
Westwater Canyon is located on the upper Colorado River near the Utah-Colorado border.
