About Whitewater Rafting in Utah
Utah whitewater rafting trips are well known to river runners around the world. What makes them so phenomenal is the spectacular and unique geology of the many rivers across Utah and the solitude they provide. The rivers and canyons are all part of the Colorado Plateau… a vast uplifted portion of the earth’s crust. The Colorado Plateau forms the foundation for all Utah rivers. Many of these river canyons measure more than 2000-feet deep, at some points they are deeper than the Grand Canyon.
