Colorado – Best Spot for River Adventures

Rafting on your Mind

Colorado whitewater rafting through the Grand Canyon is a dream that every adventure-seeker cherishes. It is indeed an experience of a lifetime, owing to the unimaginably spectacular scenery, the dramatic contrast between the calm waters and the thrill of whitewater, the superb meals and guides that take you through this amazing journey! With all these things to boast of, hardly can anyone claim that there’s a better spot anywhere other than Colorado in the world for enjoying river adventures!

The mighty Colorado River begins high in the pristine Rocky Mountain wilderness of Colorado. After winding its way across Colorado, the river gets into some of the most extraordinary river rafting destinations in the world. Not only is the Colorado River world-famous for its legendary whitewater rapids, but the breathtakingly clad canyons and landscapes through which the Colorado River plunges are also no less renowned.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were to raft the Colorado River all the way through it would take you through 5 National Parks, and a combination of 6 National Monuments, Conservation and Recreation Areas and State Parks. You can hardly think of any other river that does all that!

National Geographic labeled the Westwater Canyon torrential waters as “The West’s Best Short Whitewater Trip”. The legendary red-rock of Moab Utah can be experienced while staying at the comfortable Red Cliffs Ranch on the banks of the Colorado River. There are around 28 rapids on one of the steepest trenches of Colorado, where the Colorado River carves a deep, 100-mile long chasm through the heart of Canyonlands National Park. You can also experience some world-famous rapids in the whitewater of Cataract Canyon through the heart of Canyonlands National Park.
