Relax and enjoy the scenery on flatwater sections on the Green or Colorado rivers. Feel the thrill of riding the unique "sand waves" on the San Juan River. Conquer the powerful whitewater in Westwater, Lodore and other famous canyons. Hold on in the Grand and Cataract canyons as you're taken over infamous drops like Satan's Gut, Little Niagara and Lava Falls. Arches National Park
