Events & Specialty Trips

June 29th – July 3rd

Our Family Friendly trips welcome all ages to come together for an unforgettable adventure deep within Utah’s pristine wildernesses. Desolation Canyon is one of the most sought-after rafting trips in the country, and is perfect for kids, grandparents and everyone in between for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, there’s enough wildlife here to make a zoo embarrassed, including wild horses, big horned sheep, bald eagles, and much more. Next, the unapologetically large beaches that make for exceptional camping and fun-having. Another notable detail (one we know you’re already thinking about) is that there are more than 60 rapid sections you can run in an inflatable kayak. Your family will absolutely be talking about the shenanigans you had on this trip for decades.

May 21st – 25th

Our Adults Only trips in Desolation Canyon are perfect for all experience levels in the outdoors. Whether you’re well-acquainted with a wilderness as wildly rugged as Deso’s, or your as green to camping as the cottonwoods sipping from the river banks, you’re going to fall in love with this colossal canyon. An Adults Only trip in Desolation ensures you’ll meet likeminded individuals who want to unwind and reconnect with nature while making new friends. Play around in more the 60 rapid sections, lounge on big beautiful beaches, and take in the astounding sites both on and off this ancient tributary— all in the company of other fun loving grownups. Plus, you want have to worry about the topics of conversation on the boat and around the campfire! Win-win we say!

June 2nd – 5th

The Yampa is an incredibly renowned river that we are so fortunate to run. As the last free flowing tributary in the Colorado River system, the Yampa is a rare piece of the past, and known as “the last of the wild ones.” To raft the Yampa River is to take part in something deeply special— a place that has remained in natural cadence since its beginnings millions of years ago. On an Adults Only trip here, you’ll find yourself sinking into more moments of sacred silence, and moments of appreciation one can only understand with age. Between its blonde sandstone precipices, ever-changing whitewater, cosmically colored skies, archaeological treasures, and endless wildlife— you’ll fully experience a slice of wilderness that is completely uncommon today.

August 20th – 23rd

Can you imagine going into a mostly-unexplored river canyon in a wooden boat, filled predominantly with gun powder and flour for your meals? When John Wesley Powell and his crew did so 150 years ago, they couldn’t really imagine it either, given there was no telling what would be coming at them around each narrow river bend. On this trip, big kids can discover all that this forested, quartzite chasm has to offer like the 1869 expedition— but wayyy more comfortably! You won’t have to shoot your own dinner, or worry about caulking busted boats after running righteous rapid. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy Lodore’s exhilarating Class III whitewater, jaw-dropping scenery, and rich history through Dinosaur National Monument.

May 6th – 10th
