Wilderness River Adventures offers backhauling on the Colorado River, letting you paddle 15 miles downstream at your own pace through Glen Canyon’s spectacular canyonlands. Discover how this service helps craft personalized river trips for experienced paddlers.
Wilderness River Adventures - Horseshoe Bend Rafting operates from Page, Arizona, offering river transport and float options on the Colorado River through Glen Canyon. The business provides two primary trip formats: backhauling services that transport kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards 15 miles upriver for self-paced paddling and riverside camping, and a Half-Day Rafting Trip that covers 10 miles of Colorado River with views of Petroglyph Beach and the cliffs at Horseshoe Bend.
Trips pass notable Glen Canyon scenery and include interpretive information about Ancestral Puebloan culture at accessible sites along the route. Backhauling allows paddlers to start upriver and return downstream under their own power, enabling multi-day camping or day trips through canyon scenery. The Half-Day Rafting Trip provides a shorter option that highlights geological formations, river access points, and historic rock art.
