Take an amazing trip to the desert. Hike through Arches National Park. Raft down the Colorado River through some of the most exciting white water in the US. Explore the Utah desert by water and on foot!

We pick you up on Thursday morning July 8th in Salt Lake City.

From there we drive down to the desert town of Moab. Here we will spend the afternoon in the world-renowned Arches National Park. That night we camp out inside Arches National Park among the incredible red rock formations. The stars are unbelievable.

The next morning we wake up and embark on a 3 day rafting trip down the Colorado River. This 120-mile expedition takes us through the renowned Cataract Canyon in Canyonlands National Park. It offers some of the wildest, most exciting whitewater in the country. It is also some of the most remote wilderness in the lower 48. The 2000 foot canyon walls rising high above either side of the river have inspired many poets and musicians.

During our three day/two night rafting excursion we will take some time off the boats and explore the surrounding desert by foot. On these hikes we will get to see Native American petroglyphs, beautiful rock formations, breathtaking vistas and a variety of desert wildlife. The nights will be spent admiring the blanket of stars, relaxing by the fire on our own private beaches and eating some great food.

Once we reach the end of our river journey we drive back up to Salt Lake City, get cleaned up in our hotel, go out for some local cuisine and say goodbye to all our new friends.

Monday morning we will be able to shuttle you to the airport or you can extend your stay and see more of what wild Utah has to offer on your own.
