Explore this wonderful canyon, a Wilderness Study area, with CFI Naturalist-Guides; small group, side canyon hike, behind the scenes stories, history, geology and exciting whitewater too!  This is a 17 mile river trip that offers an insiders perspective on Westwater Wilderness Study Area at a slower pace.

We will take exploratory walks in one of Westwater's beautiful side canyons, look for animal tracks, wildflowers, ancient peoples and more recent colorful mining and river runner history. The trip is led by CFI Naturalist-Guides who share "geology for the layman" and how the river now flows through the black rock "roots of the Ancient Rockies!"; for younger folks, we do some of our fun-to-learn science activities and games.

And of course there are the 6 miles of exciting Class III-IV rapids that makes Westwater one of the premiere whitewater stretches in the west.

This trip helps raise awareness about unique qualities and protection for this special canyon and helps underwrite CFI's work with schools in Watershed education.

Trip meets at 10 am at CFI headquarters in Moab and returns by 6pm the second day.

This trip can be also reserved as a private trip just for your group or inquire about arranging a special trip on a date that works for you (advance notice needed to secure launch dates.) See our Custom Eco Tours section for further details.
