 Utah vacationers who want
to experience a one- or two-day big-water raft trip in a beautiful
southwest canyon will find there is none better than the middle
Colorado's Westwater. The diversity of Westwater's breathtaking
sandstone and granite canyon walls and the challenge of its exciting
whitewater make it one of the Southwest's classic short river trips.
. Eleven Class III-IV+ (Class V in high-water) rapids, including
Funnel Falls, The Steps, Last Chance, and Skull in the narrow Black
Granite Gorge, will excite both novice and experienced rafters.
Two-day
trips, with overnight camping, are the most common Westwater
excursion. However, the Bureau of Land Management does issue permits
for a 17-mile (27-km) one-day trip to a limited number of
outfitters. Westwater Canyon is located midway between Grand
Junction, Colorado and Moab, Utah.
Three-day
trips on the middle Colorado begin with the Horsethief and Ruby
canyons downriver from Loma, Colorado. On this 25-mile (40-km)
stretch, there is ample time to admire the river's spectacular
sandstone canyon walls, explore its side canyons, or relax on its
sandy beaches.
