Embark on a captivating musical raft trip with three seasoned Moab Music Festival artists as they take on Cataract Canyon! Powerhouse string players—violinists Tessa Lark and Kristin Lee, and cellist Jay Campbell—transform the canyon and the mighty Colorado into nature’s concert hall, performing a wide-ranging mix of solo, duo, and trio selections spanning classical to bluegrass to popular genres.  

About the venue: This musical excursion will satisfy thrill-seekers and music lovers alike, with daily concerts by renowned festival artists, among the glorious scenery of Canyonlands National Park, traversing 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.
