    DAY 1: Moab, Utah
    Meet your guides and fellow travellers today at your downtown Moab hotel. This evening attend a pre-trip briefing that includes instruction for packing of your "dry bags."

    DAY 2: Moab/Colorado River
    Drive to a section of the Colorado River that is broad and quiet for your launch. Soon you find yourself captivated by the pace of the river, the beautiful scenery and enjoying the camaraderie of your fellow travellers. Float lazily under the red cliff walls that tower 2,000 feet overhead. This evening, relax and explore while the staff prepares camp and dinner. Share stories of the day's adventure around the evening campfire. Meals: B L D

    DAY 3: Colorado River
    Board your raft and float deeper into Canyonlands National Park where the spectacular scenery rivals the lower Grand Canyon. Visit ancient, haunting Pueblo ruins and petroglyphs. Later, enjoy the spectacular star-filled sky as you relax and converse with your fellow travellers. Meals: B L D

    DAY 4: Colorado River
    Wake up this morning to fresh gourmet coffee and another hearty breakfast. Soon, you are back on the river for another day of relaxing and slipping into "river time." This afternoon, pass the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, where the Colorado doubles in size and force. You also get a chance to run a couple of smailler rapids before camp. By the end of the day, there is a rising sense of anticipation as the big rapid near. Meals: BLD

    DAY 5: Colorado River
    This morning, the guides take time to teach you how to enjoy the big rapids safely. Soon, you encounter rapids with names like Capsize, North Sea's, Little Niagara, Satan's Gut and Ben Hurt. As you continue downstream, the rapids become more intense until you enter the Big Drops - the steepest descent on the Colorado River. You complete the day's run and relax on a sandy beach to recount the excitement. Traditionally, the last night of the river trip is "dress-up" night. This is a great way to celebrate the trip and near completion of your mighty Colorado River adventure. Meals: B L D

    DAY 6: Colorado River/Moab
    On the last day, you view 2,000-foot-cliffs and explore some lost side canyons no longer submerged under Lake Powell. You have a chance to hike up Clear Water Canyon and play in one of its many swimming pools. Once you arrive at the take out, you are escorted up to a landing strip for the return flight to Moab.
