Family Friendly 5-Day Desolation Canyon

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. There’s enough wildlife here to make a zoo embarrassed, including wild horses, big horned sheep, bald eagles, and much more. Also, the unapologetically large beaches 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 be talking about the shenanigans you had on this trip for decades.
Adults Only 4-day Yampa River

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.
Adults Only 4-Day Lodore Canyon

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.
5 Day Desolation Canyon Wellness Retreat

September 13th – 17th
This adventure is focused on giving guests the opportunity to become completely present in nature as we drift down the Green River through Desolation Canyon. The intention of bringing mindfulness into the journey is to open our hearts and expand our awareness in wonderfully wild places. The trip will be sprinkled with mindfulness practices throughout each day that include meditation, yoga, breathwork, Tai Chi, and more.
