Exploring Moab
If you just see Moab from your hotel room window, you’re definitely doing it wrong! We’ve put together some tips for exploring Moab before and/or after your rafting trip.
After Checking Into Your Hotel...
The Cataract Canyon expedition is an active outdoor adventure that requires a moderate level of fitness and mobility. You'll be rafting through Class III-V rapids, hiking on uneven terrain, and camping in wilderness conditions. While our guides are there to assist, all participants must be able to climb in and out of rafts, carry their own gear, and navigate camp terrain independently. This trip may not be suitable for those with severe mobility issues or certain medical conditions. Please consult with our team if you have concerns about the physical demands of the trip.
