River Rafting the Green River through Utah's Desolation Canyon



Utah Rafting at it's Best
The Green River Trip Through Desolation Canyon.
Sandwash to Green River, Utah
84 Miles - 5 days

      This is a fun and enjoyable rafting trip for families and active individuals. With more than 60 "mild to wild" rapids, a canyon that is deeper in some places than Grand Canyon, and many historical sights and attractions, the Green River trip through Utah's Desolation Canyon is our best carefree Huck Finn-style adventure. Relive the days of the Wild Bunch gang as you explore the old Rock Creek Ranch where they used to hide out from the law. Marvel at ancient Indian rock art, and keep an eye out for big horn sheep and wild mustangs. Camp on beautiful white sand beaches where you can build sand castles with your kids, enjoy a round of horseshoes, or play a fun game of beach volleyball! View our Desolation Canyon Slideshow.
      Travel aboard oar powered rafts with a professional guide at the oars, paddle rafts where you are actively involved, or take on the river in your own inflatable kayak. A Desolation Canyon River Trip on the Green River offers an option for everyone. Inflatable kayaks or "duckies" are an exciting option in Desolation Canyon. Rapids that are mild in a rowing raft are "wild" in an inflatable kayak!
      We meet in Green River, Utah, the evening before departure. On the day the trip begins, there is a scenic charter flight 100 miles up the Green River to our put-in at Sandwash. The Desolation Canyon expeditions generally end in the early afternoon on the last day.
