Cataract Canyon
Canyonlands National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area are situated within the southeastern quadrant of Utah. They neighbor each other and together are a stunning part of the 75,000 square mile Colorado Plateau, a landmass encompassing one of the most spectacularly scenic areas in the world.
Our Cataract Canyon trips, launching at Mineral Canyon on the Green River and taking out at Hite Marina on Lake Powell, will introduce you to a slice of this magical country. You'll float a fifty mile section of the Green River through beautiful Labyrinth and Stillwater Canyons, see the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, experience the famous rapids of the Colorado's Cataract Canyon and end the trip on the northern tip of Lake Powell.
We offer this trip as a six day rowing or three day motorized rafting expedition, which will include side canyon hiking opportunities, time and weather permitting. Some of our rowing trips may be accompanied by a motorized support raft in high water levels.
Make your reservation with our office. Meet us in Green River or Moab the evening prior to the trip. The following morning you'll fly from Green River City or Moab to Mineral Canyon for the river launch. At the end of the river trip, we'll return you to Green River or Moab from Hite Marina, by van or bus. If you are flying out to join us, book your flight into Salt Lake City, Utah or Grand Junction, Colorado, and rent a car or take a van shuttle for the drive. You can also fly US airways direct from Salt Lake City.
