Raft the Fisher Towers Section
OutdoorEasySpringSummerFall
Float past the soaring red spires of the Onion Creek area on the Colorado River, featuring splashy Class II rapids suitable for the whole family.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book a half-day trip to allow about 4 hours for shuttle transport, safety briefings, and roughly 7 miles of river time.
- 2Pack high-SPF waterproof sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat with a chin strap, and polarized sunglasses to combat intense canyon glare.
- 3Wear quick-dry clothing and secure water shoes rather than flip-flops to handle slick river banks and rocky lunch spots.
- 4Meet your guides at the designated shop in downtown Moab as most companies provide the 30-minute shuttle to the Hittle Bottom launch site.
- 5Bring a reusable water bottle that can be clipped to the raft frame to stay hydrated between the splashy Class II rapids.
- 6Request an afternoon departure if you want to see the Fisher Towers glow in the warm golden-hour light during the float back.
