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!
