The Big Picture

The Green River lies in a wide river canyon. Its banks are lined with giant old cottonwood trees intermingled with juniper and pinion. The green of the trees stands in stark contrast to the rock cliffs, making this one of the most beautiful – and little appreciated -- canyons in Utah. You’ll encounter rapids all three days – over 50 in all! This is more rapids than on any other Tag-A-Long rafting vacations! These are good natured rapids, rolling and playful in disposition yet big splashy fun on the motorized Jrig we will use for this shorter program. (See the five day trip too, GK4)

The Details

Day 1 – Lunch & Dinner
You depart from Tag-A-Long’s Moab Utah office at 8:30 a.m, meet 8 a.m. We’re headed for the airport, where we will board charter planes that will take you to begin your Green River rafting trip. Guides for this three-day Utah river rafting adventure await you. After flying over the high desert country, we land at the Sand Wash field to take a short walk to the Green River. Paper thin rock layers are seen up close in the sedimentary layers. You see the stuff this canyon is made of. The expedition begins with a discussion and orientation to river etiquette and the Jrig. This first day you’ll have an opportunity to get into the river as we float through a nice calm stretch. And we see our first of the rapids. Tonight we will set up camp as guides teach you and your family how to pitch tents, and learn about other camp systems. Dinner is our treat, a surprisingly delicious outdoor meal prepared by your guides. In the meantime, you can play Frisbee, horseshoes, or just relax by the riverside.

Day 2 Breakfast, lunch & dinner
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll hit the river and splash right into the first whitewater of the day. This rafting vacation starts out small so you can slowly build your confidence in the whitewater. There are lazy sections of calm water too, watch for wildlife! Your guides will share tales of outlaw hideouts and cattle rustlers with you. The Ute Reservation occupies the left hand shoreline. The day will be spent exploring the deep canyon of the Green River which at one point is even deeper than the Grand Canyon at its deepest point! After sundown, find the Milky Way and let your imagination soar.

Day 3 Breakfast & Lunch
Today is a diverse day along the river. There’s lots more river rafting containing more whitewater rafting. Rock art can be seen of the original Native Americans from years ago. And sometime today the Ute reservation boundary ends. One of the biggest rapids at Coal Creek may warrant the guide scout (hike to look at the course of) the rapid. We meet a bus late afternoon. Pack up to head back to Moab by about 5 PM.
