AdventureEasySpringSummerFall
Splash through Class II rapids on a scenic stretch of the Colorado River, ideal for families wanting to see the canyons from the water.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book a full-day trip to include a riverside barbecue lunch, or choose a half-day morning departure to beat the peak afternoon sun.
- 2Wear quick-drying layers and secure water shoes, as you will likely get splashed during the Onion Creek and Professor Creek rapids.
- 3Bring a waterproof camera or phone pouch to capture the iconic views of the Fisher Towers and the 'Thelma & Louise' filming locations.
- 4Factor in roughly 4 to 6 hours for the full experience, including the 30-minute shuttle ride from downtown Moab to the Hittle Bottom put-in.
- 5Apply high-SPF mineral sunscreen and wear a wide-brimmed hat with a chin strap to protect against intense canyon reflection.
- 6Reserve your spot at least two weeks in advance during peak holiday weekends to ensure availability with local outfitters.
