Colorado River: Westwater Canyon
One and Two Days
Rapids Classification: III-IV

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: $140.00 per person; $120.00 for groups of ten or more.
• 2-Day: $320.00 per person; $280.00 for groups of ten or more.

2007 dates:

• 1-Day: April 29; May 3, 5, 11 and 13; June 3, 13 and 20; August 30; September 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.
• 2-Day: May 3-4, 5-6, 11-12 and 13-14; June 3-4, 5-6, 11-12 and 13-14; August 30-31; Sepember 17-18 and 21-22.

Colorado River:
Horsethief, Ruby, and Westwater Canyons
Three Days / Two Nights
Rapids Classification: I-IV

Sometimes two days on the river just isn't enough. For the ultimate river trip, combine the beauty and serenity of Horsethief and Ruby Canyons with the heart-thumping Class III and IV rapids of Westwater Canyon. Over 47 miles of river are covered on this journey.

Rates: $450.00 per person; $380.00 per person for groups of ten or more.

2007 dates: May 3-5 and 11-13; June 1-3 and 18-20; August 28-30; September 15-17.

Gunnison River:
Escalante and Dominguez Canyons
Two Days / One Night
Rapids Classification: II

The Escalante and Dominguez Canyons section is named after the first Europeans to explore the area (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.

2007 dates: Trips available weekly upon request.

Dolores River: Paradox and Mesa Canyons
Three Days / Two Nights
Rapids Classification: I-IV

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.

2007 dates: Trips available in May and June
