Colorado River One Day Rafting Trips

Sample Itinerary

The meeting time and place will depend on your group’s needs and where you are staying, but generally, we will meet on the north end of Moab alongside the Colorado River at approximately 10:00 a.m.

We’ll launch our rafts at Hittle Bottom, at the base of the iconic Fisher Towers, huge mudstone structures that seem to defy gravity. We’ll have a couple of miles to settle in and practice on the inflatable kayaks or stand-up paddle boards before we reach the first rapid, Onion Creek. Although its waves are relatively small, it goes for a long way!

Lunch is served river side. Cool your feet in the river while you eat, or enjoy the shade of a cottonwood tree. After lunch we’ll continue rowing down through Cloudburst Rapid, Rocky Rapid, and White’s Rapid. Wave to people on the porch at Sorrel River Ranch or Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge as we float on by.

Our trip comes to an end at Take-Out Beach, just ten miles north of Highway 191 and Moab. Depending on what your group has arranged, your vehicles will either be waiting for you there, or we’ll transport you back to them. We aim to be wrapping things up by 4:00 p.m.

Please keep in mind that this is a sample itinerary. Your trip will follow this general outline but some of the details may change depending on your group’s needs, weather, river conditions, and the other people also enjoying the river.
