Full-Day Colorado River Rafting Tour at Fisher Towers

Rafting the Colorado River is the perfect companion to visits to nearby Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. We booked the afternoon trip and were picked up at the Red Cliffs Lodge where we were staying. Pickup was right on time and everything was well organized at the launch site. Actually, it's more of a transfer point. If you book the morning trip with Adrift, they put in higher up the river and end at where we joined the rafts with ours being guided by Austin who did a great job. The full day option just combines the two sections. The lower section which we were on includes the only class 3 rapids on this section of the river. The upper Morning section has more, but lower class rapids We were told. After the class 3 section, our rafts pulled up on the beach and a simple, but good lunch of cold cut sandwiches make your own, chips, salads and water/lemonade was served. Then back on the river for the rest of the trip. The river was near peak when we did this early June so the flow was fast. At the end of the trip, Adrift had both their bus with raft trailer to get most of the folks back to their headquarters in downtown Moab and a small van to return 8 of us to Red Cliffs Lodge...a nice touch since the lodge was in the opposite direction and any other route would have inconvenienced one group or the other. All in all, an expertly managed half-day rafting adventure. Highly recommended!

Wer ein echtes Rafting Abenteuer erwartet, der wird mit Sicherheit enttäuscht werden. Es gab insgesamt 3-4 kleine Stromschnellen. Wenn man vorne im Boot gesessen hat, dann wurde man bei 2 auch ein wenig nass. Ansonsten ist es eher ein ruhiger Ausflug mit vielen Möglichkeiten zum Schwimmen.
