Cataract Canyon, located on the Colorado River southwest of Moab, Utah, is one
of America's most rugged and beautiful canyons!
Isolated in the southeast corner of Utah, Adventure Bound offers outstanding "big water" trips through
the beautiful and unique
Canyonlands National Park.
The first part of the trip will be spent relaxing and anticipating the upcoming excitement down river.
Swim breaks and lots of suntan lotion flavor the start of your trip.
As we reach the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers in the heart of the Canyonlands,
we prepare for the colossal rapids of Cataract. We will be rafting some of the
largest whitewater in America!
This stretch is truly rugged and action-packed. The peak season for the whitewater is May and June, and it moderates through the summer.
The last segment of the trip consists of exploring the lower canyons of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
and our final destination, Hite Marina. Be prepared for a hearty riverside dinner and exciting campfire tales of the
white water rapids of Cataract Canyon.
In 1869, a great pioneer, Major John Wesley Powell, passing through what is now
Canyonlands National Park,
reported "the landscape everywhere away from the river, is of rock — cliffs of rock, plateaus of rock, terraces of rock, crags
of rock — ten thousand strangely carved forms."
