Only 1 Day to Raft? This scenic voyage has all the components of a classic river trip: great whitewater, spectacular and drastic geology, variety of wildlife, and remote wilderness canyons. This particular stretch of the Colorado River is wild and free flowing, resulting in a variety of water levels through the rafting season. The narrow canyon of 1.7 billion-year-old black schist rock is a sharp contrast to the red rock cliffs preceding and following the whitewater section. This is the most exciting 1 Day Whitewater trip near Moab, Utah.
