Cataract Canyon

One of the most pristine wilderness areas in our country is Cataract Canyon. The Colorado river runs through the beautiful Canyonlands National Park. There is an abundance of Indian ruins to enjoy. Fun hiking and exhilarating rapids for everyone. The Colorado river is free flowing (no dams) and allows people to choose to enjoy raging rapids during the spring runoff or wait to enjoy rafting at lower water levels. This is a beautiful river and we would love to share it with you.

Rafting on the Salmon River

I thought I better post a picture of the Salmon River. It is to me one of the most beautiful places in the world and you can get ice cream at Buckskin Bills, play volley ball on their lawn, and see a country garden that you would never expect to find on the river. It is an amazing surprise in the middle of a river trip!
