Experience the exhilarating rapids of the Westwater Canyon! Hidden away in western Colorado and eastern Utah is Westwater Canyon, which offers an exceptional whitewater rafting trip as the Colorado River begins the last leg of its journey through Colorado. The water current becomes notably swifter as it is forced into the descending and narrowing channel of Westwater Canyon. It is here that your trip offers the thrill and challenge of running some of the best white water Class III-IV rapids in the region. Colorful names and exciting stories accompany these rapids, especially "Little Dolores," "Funnel Falls," "Skull," and "Sock-it-to-Me." ** Limited to military veterans.
