Here are some things you should consider when choosing a trip: the length of time you have, the in-tensity of whitewater you want to experience, and the time of year that is best for you.

“An awesome rafting experience! If you’re looking for a multi-day rafting trip, you can’t go wrong with Sheri Griffith!”— Fran H., Tampa, Fl, Yampa River

The Colorado River is one of the most famous, exciting and beautiful rivers in the world. This magnificent river runs through six national parks and recreation areas.

Vacations on this prized river offer a combination of outstanding scenery, majestic wildlife, exhilarating rapids and a chance to truly escape.

Sheri Griffith Expeditions hosts trips in two scenic canyons of the Colorado River: Cataract Canyon, in Canyon-lands National Park, and Westwater Canyon, a proposed Wild and Scenic River.

CATARACT CANYON The Colorado River divides Canyon-lands National Park in half. This is a spectacular, remote wilderness with 2000 foot red rock cliffs, 28+ fun and exciting rapids and national park qual-ity hikes.

by Oar BoatThe oarboat is the traditional raft on the Colorado River and is “up close and personal” with the river and its natural power.

by motorized J-RigThis larger more stable raft, maneu-vered by a quiet outboard motor, al-lows you to experience Cataract Can-yon on a shorter timeframe.

WILD WESTWATER CANYONby paddleboatThis stretch of the river offers an ideal balance of mellow bird watching, ex-hilarating whitewater rafting and per-fect camping. Otters, deer and eagles are not rare in this desert oasis.

Exhilarating Rapids,Outstanding Scenery

“SGE is a great example of “you get what you pay for”; yes, they are a little pricier than some others, but their trips are well planned, their staff is professional and helpful, the experience can’t be truly described. You will not be disappointed.” — Charles, Southlake, TX, Cataract Canyon

The Sights of Cataract Canyon trip through Canyonlands National Park is our pre-mier trip that offers great whitewater, spectacular hikes and beauty found only on the Colorado River. See red rock spires that tower 2000 ft. above the river. Explore 1000-year- old Native American petroglyphs and granaries found around every bend in the river.

ThewhitewaterinMayandJuneisathrill-seeker’sdream.Thewavesarelargeandthe ride is very exciting. In the later season, the whitewater is still fun but not as big.

The oarboat is the traditional raft on the Colorado River. This type of craft places you “up close and personal” with the river and its natural awesome pow-er. It’s a pure wilderness river trip combining all the comforts needed to enjoy the outdoors. Carrying four to five people, the small rafts put you right in the heart of the action. Only the quiet dipping of the oars in the water breaks the impressive natural quiet of the smooth water sections.

Explore some of the lost can- yons of Cataract Canyon as we motor off Lake Powell. The trip concludes with a flight back over Canyonlands National Park.

This trip allows those that don’t want too much whitewater to ride on a motorizedpontoon“J-rig,”whichislargerandmorestablethanoarboats.

The first few days we hike to ancient Native American ruins and petroglyphs and marvel at the red rock vistas of Canyonlands National Park. We have time for swimming and relaxing in the afternoon and evening.

After the Confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, we meet the beginning of the whitewater. For the next 20 miles, we navigate through rapids with names like North Seas, MileLong,andtheBigDrops.Dur-ing the spring runoff, these rapids can be some of the largest and most powerful on the Colorado River. In late summer and fall, the river drops and the rapids are more moderate yet still exciting.

On the last day, we view 2000-foot cliffs and explore some of the canyons of Lake Powell. The trip wraps up with a scenic flight back toMoaboverthecanyonyouhavecome to love.

Westwater Canyon, one of the last canyons of the Colorado Plateau to be explored, contains many wonders, from river otter and eagles that make the canyon their home to the miner’s cabin and the Western Rio Grand railroad. The canyon walls are spectacular with 1.7 billion-year-old black rock rising out of the river and stand 1200 feet above the water by burning red sandstone cliffs. Westwater’s history is filled with tales of those who passed this way, proven by Native American writings hidden on canyon walls and abandonedMiner’scabinsandout-law caves.

The Wild Westwater Canyon adventure places you in the midst of dramatic desert landscapes. There are two sections to Westwater Can-yon with great contrast between the serene solitude of the upper can-yon’s sandstone walls and the sur-real black granite and impressive rapids of the lower canyon.

This stretch of the Colorado River is free flowing, resulting in a variety of water levels through-out the rafting season. The narrow gorge of Westwater Canyon offers wonderful rapids during the entire rafting season. Run rapids with nameslikeSock-It-To-Me,SkullandLast Chance as you traverse this wild and scenic canyon.

The Green River is the perfect family river trip with warm water for swimming, big sandy beaches for playing and easy to moderate whitewater for excitement.

This trip is planned entirely for families. We travel at a family’s pace, hand pick family-friendly guides and offer family-friendly meals. We take along sand toys for amusement. This hidden jewel of the American West has outlaw hideouts, homesteads, Indian Ruins, and sandy beaches shaded by ancient cottonwood trees. There are over 50 exciting rapids with big rolling waves that get bigger each day.

This stretch of the Green River has been our premier family trip for 25 years. It offers multi-generational families an opportunity to bond in the great outdoors.

The Perfect Family Vacation!Playful rapids, lots of water fun, sandy beaches for sandcastles, nature hikes for learning, and marshmallows for roasting are just a few of the activi-ties lined up for your family vacation. Camp on beautiful beaches shaded by cottonwood trees, hike to old outlaw hideouts and glimpse shy wildlife. Our “Kid Guide” offers games, fun-to-learn outdoor skills, and nature walks. Parents can join in or grab a little private time for themselves.

The Gates of Lodore is an absolute paradise with few people, 1000-foot cliffs and wildlife around every bend. The entrance to this Green River adventure truly looks like you’re entering a giant red rock fortress as the canyon walls shoot hundreds of feet up from the valley floor. The trip has much more to offer than just gorgeous scenery; the canyon is filled with fun rapids every day, waterfall hikes and a native herd of big horn sheep that can be seen on most trips.

The Gates of Lodore Canyon contains the first major set of rap-ids encountered by John WesleyPowell and his men on their 1869 expedition. The river is narrow and fast paced. We run the rapids in paddleboats, inflatable kayaks and oarboats. The scenery is an amaz-ing combination of Rocky Moun-tain forest tapering into the rug-ged beauty of the desert. Abundant wildlife including deer, bighorn sheep, eagles, trout and hawks can be seen around every bend.

We purposely travel slowly, about 10-15 miles per day, so we have ample time to explore the can-yons and take in the surrounding nature and its wildlife. The camps are well-maintained, which makes for easy and relaxing camping.
