A Guide from the Inside

Experience "The West's Best Short Whitewater Trip," as named by National Geographic magazine. Westwater Canyon is a spirited oar-powered and paddleboat trip* on the Colorado River. Guides expertly row through exciting waves and swirling pools dwarfed by stunningly beautiful and unique black, gold and red canyon walls. Hikes to historic cabins, mysterious caves, and Indian petroglyphs punctuate the river's course. Rapids such as Funnel Falls, Skull Rapid and Sock-it-to-Me provide plenty of excitement while calmer waters on the last part of the river offer a relaxing end to the perfect day trip. *Note: Use of paddleboats may depend on water levels. We reserve the right to not use paddleboats at certain water levels.
