Group Name: Canyonlands National Park Hiking from the Colorado

Group Description: Rafting Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River is on most Outdoor Adventurist’s Bucket List. This section of the Colorado River is famous for rapids bigger than the Grand Canyon during spring run-off, but this trip is about more than whitewater. It is about seeing the incredible landscape of Canyonlands National Park and hiking and exploring its side canyons and mesas. This trip originates from Moab, Utah and includes a scenic flight over Canyonlands National Park at the the conclusion of the river trip. Colorado River & Trail Expeditions provides all of the camping gear including cots and tents, as well as all meals, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages. We also provide dry-suits for water levels over 60,000 cfs. For more information on our trips please visit our website: http://www.crateinc.com/raft-trips/cataract-canyon-rafting
