I have done the white rim with holiday 5 times, and each trip is the highlight of the year for me. The scenery is spectacular. The bigger than life red rock spires and bluffs that are prevalent throughout the ride give an abundance of photo opportunities. Doing the ride in 3 or 4 days allows for enough time to take in the scenery, and still get plenty of biking in each day. The guides for each of my trips have created an atmosphere of lighthearted fun and excitement balanced with plenty of knowledge about the geography and native american indians who inhabited the area in the past. I'm always impressed with the great food they prepare and the organization around the kitchen. The white rim trip has always been an unforgettable experience.

We had a great time. We appreciated the informed guides and the educational experience they were able to provide. Our 7 year old thinks it was the BEST trip ever! The kids activity kit came in handy. Making friendship bracelets and sand castles. The ducky was his favorite! Also, We never expected the food to be one of the highlights of a camping/rafting trip!
Itinerary
Day 1: We'll start at our headquarters at 8:00 a.m., Mountain Time. You'll get your river bags and have time to pack and pick up last minute items from our on-site store (see our packing checklist for a list of items we stock). We will then ride for approximately one hour east to the Westwater Ranger Station. It's a relaxing float at first, with a possible hike to Little Hole Canyon�s natural amphitheater where Native American rock art can be seen. In favorable conditions, a short hike up Little Dolores Canyon reveals a beautiful desert waterfall and swimming hole. Camp near Little Dolores.
Day 2: Leisurely breakfast before rigging for the rapids of Westwater! The waves come fast and furious, in quick succession, including Skull Rapid, one of Colorado�s fiercest drops and the narrowest part of the river. Finish with Bowling Alley, Sock-it-to-me and Last Chance. Vans will return you to our headquarters in Green River between 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
As mentioned earlier, this is a sample itinerary and should not be thought of as the exact trip you will experience. It is intended to give an idea of what the trip will be like, and could also be exactly what you do. Keep an open mind, be flexible, go with the flow, and enjoy!
