The Best in Family Vacations & Family Rafting
Cataract Canyon / Needles Explorer, Utah

Colorado River family vacations will allow you to experience the ingle geologic formation that defines much of the US's desert southwest. Created from the snow pack of the the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River makes it course south and west into Utah, becoming both a creator as well as one of the most prominent characteristic of the impressive scenery of the Colorado Plateau. Our Colorado River family vacations will take you to a region, which is known worldwide for its numerous national parks, including Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands and Zion. Immense, rugged terrains of rich reds and tans, the rock cliffs, spires and canyons are just a few of the characteristics of these parks. The area is known as a great spot for family vacations. It holds a wealth of Native American and Old West history, not to mention the endless adventure opportunities: hiking, horseback riding, family rafting on the Colorado, mountain biking on Moab's famous Slick Rock; 4x4 touring the remote backcountry, and much, much more.

No matter what sort of family vacation you're looking for, Canyonlands National Park family vacations have it all: beach camping; exhilarating family rafting; breathtaking side-canyon hikes along Cataract Canyon; and phenomenal views from the back roads of the Needles region. Prehistoric petroglyphs, Puebloan ruins,and pictographs are also common amongst the river's shores and canyons— bringing about visions of a much wilder America. Ancient history is equally displayed through many fossilized remains still visible in the former seabed's of the canyons. Canyonlands family vacations will also allow you to observe numerous species of wild animals, which are often sighted at the edge of the river, drawn to the only major water source in the area. Finding shelter amongst the riverside tamarisks, cottonwoods and willows, bighorn sheep, great blue heron and deer are often seen, as well as fox, ring-tailed cat, bobcat and bobcat.

Our Cataract Canyon family vacations will allow you to experience a family rafting adventure, which will take you through Class III to III+ rapids in May, and a more moderate Class III during the months of September and October. This makes Cataract Canyon a great place for family rafting vacations.
