About This Trip
The Cataract Canyon 2 day rafting trip is a chance to explore the spectacular sites of the Colorado River through Canyonlands National Park. This is a fully motored trip to cover the 96-mile stretch. Long days will be spent on the water (and rapids!!), and there won’t be much time in camp or side hikes along the way. It’s a speedy trip, but an unforgettable one!

With Paddle Boats, typically used at low water, the guide just has a paddle and relies on you to help get through the rapids!Â
