This musical excursion will satisfy thrill-seekers and music lovers alike, with daily concerts by renowned festival artists, the glorious scenery of Canyonlands National Park, and some of the largest and most challenging whitewater in the United States. This custom 4-day /3-night Musical Raft Trip starts with our signature grotto concert. Then, we continue on past the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers, with expert crew to guide you through exhilarating days of adventure. A scenic return flight over Canyonlands National Park brings us back to Moab at the close of the final day 

Embark with Tessa Lark for an unprecedented, star-studded musical and culinary experience in Cataract Canyon! We will be joined for the duration of the trip by celebrated cookbook author and chef Kenji Lopez-Alt for a series of curated meals, intimate conversations, and demonstrations exploring the parallels between food and music. Powerhouse string players—violinist Geneva Lewis, and cellist Jay Campbell—transform the canyon and the mighty Colorado into nature’s concert hall.
