The Colorado flows right through Moab — making it the most accessible and most-booked river in the region. Sections range from peaceful family floats to relentless Class V fury in Cataract Canyon.
The Green cuts through some of Utah's most remote canyon wilderness. Desolation Canyon and Labyrinth are unforgettable multi-day float trips through ancient red rock landscape.
The San Juan winds through ancestral Puebloan lands in southern Utah — a longer, calmer float with incredible cultural and geological scenery. Ideal for those who want beauty over big waves.
A hidden gem when water levels cooperate. The Dolores carves a stunning sandstone canyon in southwestern Colorado — offering technical Class III–IV whitewater through stunning canyon scenery.
The Yampa is the last free-flowing major tributary of the Colorado — and it runs through Dinosaur National Monument with some of the best whitewater in the intermountain West.

What the river taught them.
We booked the Moab Full Day and couldn't believe how smooth everything was. The guide knew every eddy and every eagle's nest. Our kids were terrified before the first rapid and obsessed after. Best day of our family vacation — by a lot.
Westwater Canyon absolutely delivered. Sockeye, Skull, and Cisco all lived up to the hype. The canyon walls close in around you and you feel so small — in the best way. Used MoabRaftingTours.com to compare outfitters and it made booking so easy.
We did a 5-day Cataract Canyon expedition. The Big Drops at high water were genuinely terrifying — and genuinely perfect. Sleeping under the stars in Canyonlands National Park. Camp food that somehow tasted incredible. Zero regrets.
