Your journey begins with a drive up one of the most scenic highways in the West. You’ll launch your raft onto a spectacular stretch of the Colorado River, made famous by dozens of movies shot along this stretch of the river. You’ll experience mild rapids such as Onion Creek, Cloudburst, Rocky Rapid, and Whites Rapid. On long, calm stretches between rapids, you’ll have plenty of time to cool down and float with your life jacket in the river.

At lunch time, you'll stop at a beautiful riverside ranch where you can kick up your feet in the shade and savor a hot BBQ lunch. This BBQ lunch buffet is exclusive to Moab Adventure Center and includes your choice of freshly-grilled burgers, chicken, hot dogs or veggie patties.
