Colorado River Travel Information
The Colorado River carves some terrific
canyons through the sandstone
desert terrain past Moab and through Canyonlands National park before
emptying into Lake Powell. It offers long stretches of calm water as
well as some outstanding whitewater. Most notable is Westwater Canyon
near the Colorado border, and Cataract Canyon in Canyonlands National
Park. More mild whitewater can be found near Moab as well as peaceful
float trips.
