the Green River winds its way through three distinct canyons: Lodore, with its red rock walls and famous trio of rapids, Whirlpool which features Jones Hole Creek and echoing cliffs, and Split Mountain which contains geological curiosities and exciting whitewater. First traversed by Major John Wesley Powell in 1869, the Green is still a wonderful introduction to the special world of desert rivers.

Our four-day whitewater rafting trips travel 44 miles through the dramatic sandstone cliffs and enchanting canyons of the imposing Uinta Mountains in Colorado and Utah. The region has quite a history, and it shares it delicately through geologic wonders, sublime rock forms, mysterious fossils and fleeting remnants of Native American pictographs and petroglyphs.

There is abundant wildlife, plenty of opportunity to hike, and rapids that provide lots of thrills with just a few spills; a great adventure for all members of the family.
