Colorado River: Westwater Canyon
One and Two Days
Rapids Classification: III
Wild, historic Westwater Canyon is the best overnight whitewater trip on the Colorado Plateau.
As the river flows west, it cuts deep into the geologic
past exposing the oldest rocks of the Colorado Plateau, the Precambrian Uncompahgre schist. This sculpted,
polished black rock constricts the river channel, forcing
calm water into a number of rapids, drops, and whirlpools.
Names such as Skull, Sock-It-To-Me, Funnel Falls,
and the Room of Doom reveal the mood of the river in
this section.
Rates:
- 1-Day:
$160.00 per person; $120.00 for groups of ten or more.
- 2-Day: $320.00 per person; $280.00 for groups
of ten or more.

II The Escalante and Dominguez Canyons section

(1776).
The Gunnison River is Colorado's second largest river; only the Colorado River is larger. Enjoy the magic
and solitude while floating through a brilliant canyon
of red sandstone.
A hike up Dominguez Canyon offers
the opportunity to search for panels of Indian petroglyphs
and look for the magnificent Desert Bighorn Sheep.
Rates: $350.00 per person; $275.00 under 14;
$275.00 for groups of ten or more.

Dolores River: Paradox and Mesa Canyons
Three
Days / Two Nights
Rapids Classification: I-III
Historic sites abound on this stretch of the Dolores
River; the Bedrock store built in 1898, abandoned gold
mines, and the remains of a 19th century wooden flume
hanging from the canyon wall.
This run has much variety. Cutting across the Paradox
Valley, the river defies logic in the first few miles
of this river journey.
The river then slices into
the north wall of the valley to enter Paradox Canyon,
with several Class III to Class IV rapids. The remainder
of this trip is spent relaxing and playing in the Class
II rapids of beautiful Mesa Canyon.
Rates:
$495.00 per person; $375.00 for groups of ten or more.
2012 dates: Trips available in May and June - Other Dates Available
