Sightseeing Highlights
A spectacular scenic flight from Moab, Utah lands you atop a dramatic
desert plateau where you'll begin rafting Desolation Canyon on the Green
River. You'll surrender your senses to nature as you're enveloped by 40
million years of geologic history. Winding through a remarkable
wilderness of twisted mountains, dramatic cliffs, and towering plateaus
carved by an ancient inland sea, Utah's hidden Desolation Canyon rafting
trip is a magnificent journey for the ages.
Explore Utah's
famous outlaw hideouts, ancient dinosaur habitats, and Fremont Native
American petroglyphs. More moderate rapids on this section of the Green
River allow you to experience paddling a 2-person inflatable kayak or
relax in an oar boat while Western's guides take you down river.
Comfortable summer water temperatures and over 60 fun-filled rapids make
this Desolation Canyon rafting trip the ideal getaway for your next
adventure.

Why Choose Desolation Canyon Rafting?
Desolation Canyon rafting is ideal for families with younger kids (ages 5+). We see parents and grandparents with their kiddos enjoying milder rapids and camping on broad beaches (especially later in the season). Spectacular canyon scenery surrounds five days of uninterrupted time spent with the ones you love the most. Rafting Desolation Canyon on the Green River is a natural for family bonding time.
Day 1: Desolation Canyon »
Experience a breathtaking morning flight over the canyons of the Green River, landing atop a spectacular desert plateau. Enjoy a beautiful hike or van ride to the river's edge. Launch onto a calm stretch of the Green River, perfect for swimming and relaxing. Before your first delectable camp dinner, explore the area, play a game or just relax and soak in the soothing beauty of Utah's Desolation Canyon while your guides do all the cooking.
Days 2 & 3: Desolation Canyon »
Awaken to a hearty breakfast and hike a short distance to 1,000-year-old Fremont Native American petroglyphs or maybe an old moonshiner's hideout. Savor a delicious riverside buffet lunch. Then, climb aboard your oar boat and let your guide pilot you through several exciting Green River rapids, or you and a partner may chose to paddle your own inflatable kayak.
Day 4: Desolation Canyon »
Hike to a historic homestead rich in folklore and outlaw history. Run Wire Fence and Three Fords rapids, among the biggest whitewater on the Green River. Float out of Desolation Canyon, and enter scenic Gray Canyon, traversing 40 million years of geologic history in the blink of an eye. Savor another night camping under the innumerable stars of the astounding southern Utah sky.
Day 5: Desolation Canyon »
After a restful night under the stars, you'll awaken to relish your last morning in the canyon. Even by your final day, you will be amazed at how surreal it is to wake up with the first rays of sun gently spreading through the shadows of the Green River's towering cliffs. You'll enjoy a riverside breakfast then set off for more whitewater excitement interspersed with calm stretches for swimming and occasional waterfights. After lunch, you'll celebrate your successful journey and return with a 1-hour bus ride to Moab, Utah (arriving approximately 2:30 PM).
