Cataract Canyon rafting has 26 Grand Canyon style rapids and no waiting list to enjoy the trip! The Colorado River flows by Moab Utah to Lake Powell. This one hundred mile Utah river trip is longer than Grand Canyon's upper half and shorter than the lower half Arizona raft segments. Either way Cataract Canyon serves up a comparable trip length or a shorter one to fit more restrictive travel time restraints. The Utah raft trip doesn't require a long hike to get in or out of the trip. The Grand Canyon upper or lower halves do have involved hikes. And the Cataract raft trip price is suitable to all wallets in comparison. Typically, this trip is finished with a 30 minute scenic flight to return to Moab from Lake Powell. It is amazing to see how remote that river journey is in Canyonlands from a bird's eye view.
