RAFT and COLORADO RIVER OVERNIGHT CAMPING
Through Professor Valley – The Scenic Splash
Check-in time: Monday 10:30 am Departure time: 11:00 AM Return time: Tues 2pm at bus and 2:30 Tag-a-Long
Each year nearly four thousand guests, laugh and splash as our licensed boatmen guide them down the Colorado River through 6 moderate to small rapids. This stretch is usually performed as a day trip, still those with younger family members (must weigh, at least, 40 pounds) or budget conscience participants, have an opportunity to camp and raft too with this experience of the Colorado River. The two days split six named rapids and additional riffles. Our expert guides maneuver them skillfully to provide fun and excitement for all. At noon we stop on a beach where the guides prepare a delicious lunch.
If you have never rafted before, this is a perfect first time river experience. It is a great trip for families. For those accustomed to white water, the scenic splendor punctuates this relaxing, splashy coolness, making the trip memorable. To begin, river runners congregate at the Tag-A-Long office at 10:30 AM. Our drivers deliver you upriver from Moab along a bi-way of beautiful red rock canyons. There will be a brief safety orientation before we set out.
There is opportunity to float like an astronaut along side the raft and generally play in the water. We will stop for a little land exploration too. Count on some photogenic vistas of Fisher Towers, Professor Valley, and wonderful rock formations such as the “Nuns and the Priest”, and “Castle Rock”. This region is the location of many films, including John Wayne's western movies, “Fort Apache” and “Rio Grand”, and more recently, "City Slickers II" and "Larger Than Life".
In the evening, towering canyon walls rise up on both sides of the sun-dappled river carved by the ancient forces of wind and water. Your naturalist guide will recount fascinating and humorous stories, entertaining you with history, geology, plant and animal lore, sharing their knowledge, enthusiasm and a sense of play. The schedule is leisurely and there is time for swimming (life jackets remain on), focus on a camping experience on a shorter river stretch and thrilling rides through the last two rapids to end a perfect day on the Colorado River.
