Westwater Canyon has dependable class III – IV whitewater all year round. Couples looking for adventure or families with older children will love this section.
In Westwater Canyon the Colorado River is funneled into a narrow corridor of black polished shist overlain with red sandstone cliffs. Not only is the canyon spectacular, but the rapids are a blast. Funnel Falls, Skull, Sock It To Me, and several more rapids come one after the other in an intense and rollicking expedition that brings out the bronco rider in all of us.
Above and below Westwater the river meanders serenely through red rocks and you’re invited to join for a two day trip. Eagles sail over canyon walls and the thickets along the stream banks are as beautiful and relaxing as the rapids are exciting.
