Cataract Canyon

Cataract CanyonCataract Canyon is a 74km long canyon formed by the mighty Colorado River in the southern part of the US State of Utah. The Cataract Canyon begins at the meeting point of Green and Colorado Rivers just to the south of the city of Moab, in the heart of the Canyonlands National Park. The lower half of the Cataract Canyon that is situated in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area lies submerged beneath Lake Powell when the water of the artificial reservoir reaches a maximum elevation of 1,100m.

We are about to embark on a week long expedition down the flatwater section of Catataract Canyon of the Colorado River putting in at Potash Boat Ramp and taking out at Spanish Bottom. While adventuring , we'll immerse ourselves in a pristine desert canyon of sandstone and wonder. 
Geologic studies, natural history, anthropomorphic deep dives, art, and writing encompass the experience we are providing. 

As expedition leaders, you will figure out what you need for a week on the river to survive and thrive. 

Cheers and thank you for coming along :)
