What To Expect
Meet us at our Moab office! After you're checked in and fitted for a life jacket, we'll take a scenic shuttle out to the most dramatic section of Castle Valley along the Colorado River.
After a quick safety orientation we'll hit the river, spending 2 hours on the water floating into the beautiful red rock canyon of Castle Valley. In between the friendly class II rapid sections, your guide will share stories about the area's rich history, how these geologic wonders formed, and probably some river lore and good old fashioned dad jokes.
The afternoon section comes with more rapids between the flat water stretches, so feel free to paddle with your guide, or sit back and enjoy the splashes. After two hours on this serene stretch of the Colorado River, we'll take out and shuttle back to our office.
