Join us on this three-day, two-night trip that conquers Westwater Canyon, including the notorious Skull Rapid. Together, we experience the contrast between the serene solitude of the upper canyon and the exciting rapids of the lower canyon and its gorgeous pink and black Precambrian rock formations, the earliest of the geologic ages.

Moab Music Festival artists perform daily in programs that complement this extraordinary wilderness.

The trip includes:

  • Daily concerts given by Moab Music Festival musicians (click the “Artists & Program” button above for more details)
  • Rafting through some of the world’s most famous whitewater rapids (Class III-IV)
  • Floating two sections to Westwater Canyon and Ruby-Horsethief Canyon
  • Hiking, swimming and floating amidst the canyon’s magnificent scenery
  • Expert river guides set up camp and cook delicious meals in comfortable riverside sites

National Geographic calls this remarkable section of the Colorado River “The West’s Best Short Whitewater Trip.”
