Westwater Canyon Rafting: Full-Day Whitewater Adventure from Moab

The river grabs your attention long before the first rapid — a thin silver ribbon cutting through towering, orange cliffs that seem to lean in to watch. You meet at NAVTEC Expeditions on Main Street in Moab in a cool morning hush, sign the release, clip on a PFD and feel the anticipation hum through the van ride to the put‑in. The canyon tightens, the current quickens, and soon your raft is punching through a succession of stern, clean waves: Marble Canyon, Sock‑It‑To‑Me, Funnel Falls and Skull grade the run with teeth. Between the whitewater stretches the river eases; the canyon exhales and invites you to scan layers of Navajo and Wingate sandstone that hold half a billion years of wind and water.
