The Big Picture

Each year nearly four thousand guests take this barrel-of-fun ride down 13 miles of the Colorado River near Moab. If you’ve never rafted whitewater before, and would like a taste of the thrill, this is the perfect way to get your feet wet. You’ll ride through six moderate to small rapids, class I-II, and enjoy some of the best scenery in America. This is the section of river Walt Disney Company chose to film whitewater rapids!

This trip departs daily and half-day micro-expeditions are also available departing morning or afternoons.


The Details

Your day of fun on the river begins at 8:40 a.m. at Tag-A-Long’s office in Moab where you board shuttles for the scenic 26-mile ride to the river "put in." The morning half of your expedition takes you through a photographer’s paradise as you pass by Fisher Towers, Professor Valley, and stunning red rock formations such as the Nuns and the Priest and Castle Rock. You’ll be gazing out over landscape where many famous classic movies were filmed including John Wayne’s Fort Apache and Rio Grand. More recently, this area was the backdrop for City Slickers II and Larger Than Life. Your day introduces you to tricky White’s Rapid, Ida Gulch and New Rapid, three of the bigger rapids on this stretch of the river. But don’t worry, your expert guide knows how to give you the best ride with the best safety measures! You’ll bounce and bubble over many more rapids and ripples during this playful river trip. Your schedule is leisurely with plenty of time for swimming and water fights before this perfect day on the Colorado River is over.
