Escape into one of Utah’s most remote, wilderness and breathtaking areas – Desolation Canyon. Located on Utah’s Green River, Desolation Canyon is nearly untouched and deeper than the Grand Canyon in some areas. Our Desolation Canyon trips continue on the legacy of Adventure Bound River Expeditions, combined with the legendary customer service and expertise of Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep tours.
Amidst the stunning geological features of towering spires and abundant arches, splash through more than 60 class II to III+, family-friendly rapids that are dispersed throughout the trip. Experience Desolation Canyon on the Green River in a raft, or challenge the rapids with an inflatable kayak! The kayaks are brought along on all trips!
Live history by following John Wesley Powell’s expedition in 1869 as he descended Utah’s Green River, and be amazed as you surrounded by 40 million years of geologic history in Desolation Canyon.
Get in touch with nature with castle building on the large sandy beaches, water fights and swimming in the warm river water, and exploring on short hikes to ancient Native American ruins, abandoned homesteads, and scenic overlooks. Discover ancient art rock painting, ancient dinosaur habitats, and the hideout of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Be enchanted with wildlife such as bear, deer, bighorn sheep, blue herons, and one of the last bands of wild horses along the river corridor.
In camp, relax under giant cottonwood trees. Rejuvenate with family and friends around the crackling campfire. Sleep soundly under the starry nighttime sky.
