| Rafting in Cataract Canyon |
This expedition is designed for those seeking a complete Canyonlands experience. We'll travel by both land and river for a comprehensive trip through the park.
We begin by travelling down the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon, a journey that includes all of the same features as our three-day Cataract Canyon trip.

| Joint Trail |
After two nights on the river we arrive at Hite Marina and take a cool scenic flight over the park to the remote Needles District of Canyonlands. Here, you'll meet your 4WD guides and begin the backcountry overland segment of your trip.
We'll travel deep into the Needles country following rugged jeep trails. You'll be amazed at the beauty of this unlikely landscape. We'll hike through the narrows of the Joint Trail en-route to spectacular Chesler Park.

You'll visit the Confluence Overlook, a high vantage point which you'll remember from your raft trip just days before. We'll visit numerous archeological sites along with other short hikes into exciting side canyons.
Our 4-wheel-drive tour will travel fully self-contained and use the latest minimum impact camping techniques. A trip down a great river with exhilarating rapids combined with a 4X4 expedition into a canyon wilderness that is beautiful beyond description! This trip is an exciting combination that is hard to match. Where else in the world could you find a comparable combination? Join us for the trip of a lifetime.
