Itinerary

The river cascades through the ever-deepening sandstone monuments and into the narrow Black Granite Gorge. Here the river meets opposition from the canyon walls, creating the fast and furious rapids that give Westwater its reputation: Funnel Falls, Last Chance, Bowling Alley, and, of course, the infamous Skull Rapid.

This trip is designed for adventure seekers and canyon lovers, for those looking for great rapids on the Colorado River. There are two boat options for those interested in Westwater Canyon. An oarboat is an 18 foot inflatable raft maneuvered by a guide with a set of oars secured in the middle of the raft. A paddleboat is a 16 foot inflatable raft manned by passengers and their paddles, with the guide navigating from the back of the raft.
