River Rafting in Moab, Utah with Kids

Rating:
 

Moab may be a mecca for mountain bikers but it is also a magnet for river rafters. And the rapids aren't the only attraction! Here, the Colorado and Green rivers cut an arresting path through sandstone forming dramatic canyons red, gold and black. Towering spires, broad sand beaches and vertical walls round out the scenery. But that’s not all! This rugged and remote corner of Utah harbors tales of times gone by. Rock Art, more than 700 years old, adorns boulders and stone. Native American Indian ruins tell of a life long ago. Hideouts, such as Outlaw Cave, speak to Butch Cassidy and the Wild West. Abandoned homesteads impart the harsh reality of frontier life. In Moab, rafting with kids is as much an adventure as just plain fun.

Rafting the Colorado River was one of the highlights of our two week trip to southeast Utah and western Colorado. Even if we didn\'t attempt the world class rapids at Westwater or Cataract canyons. The slow float in Castle Valley, northeast of Moab, is perfect for novice rafters and families traveling with younger children. The rapids, Class I and Class II, provide a thrill, especially when navigated in an inflatable kayak. The guides at Moab Adventure Center provide the rest. A safe environment and good kid fun. Swimming, water fights and a paddle for each small hand ensured all of the kids in our raft were smiling from ear to ear ... Read More

Swimming, water fights and a paddle for each small hand ensured all of the kids in our raft were smiling from ear to ear and that none of them fell in, except when they jumped.
