1032013 WESTWATER MULTI-SPORT 4 DAY MOAB, UTAH ADVENTURE

A Typical Day on the River After meeting your guides you will be given a trip orientation that will include how and where you can sit on the rafts, how to hold on, and safety precautions while on the river.

A typical day will include rafting for a few hours at a time, stopping for scenic side-canyon hikes, bathroom breaks, lunch and possible swimming opportunities. Visiting with new-found friends and learning river lore and geology from our well- trained guides add to the enjoyment of each day.

After a full day of learning and fun we arrive in camp. Guests will be allowed to find their favorite campsite and then return to the rafts for the famous “fire line” - the way we load and unload rafts. Your help in passing the gear off the boat is greatly appreciated; however, if you have physical restrictions or limitations that would prohibit you from participating you are not required to help.

The first evening in camp, the guides will give a demonstration on how to easily assemble the cots and tents and will be available to help you if you need additional “Our trip was amazing! I felt like a kid assistance. Western River provides cots, tents, sleeping bags, sheets, camp chair again. The guides were wonderful and really and water-proof gear bags for all guests.

Rafts on the Colorado River On Colorado River trips through Westwater Canyon, Western River Expeditions offers both oar rigs and paddleboats. You’ll be able to experience the excitement of a paddleboat or ride aboard a comfortable oar rig piloted by Western’s skilled guides. The use of paddleboats in Westwater Canyon is determined by water levels. Generally, Western uses oar rigs earlier in the season (May-June) and both oar rigs and paddleboats later in the season (July-August).

Western’s Oar Rig As the water levels change during the season, Western’s guides adeptly maneuver four to six passenger oar rigs. These specially designed 18-foot boats offer a comfortable ride and are “self- I bailing” which means that any water that comes into the raft immediately flows back out. These boats carry the camping and cooking comforts necessary for nights along the Green or Colorado Rivers.

Western’s Paddle Raft In conjunction with our Oar rigs, Western also offers paddleboats which provide “hands-on” excitement in conquering the waves with a spirited team of 6 to 8 rafters. Paddlers need not have any prior experience as Western’s guides will provide ample instruction and ensure everyone’s success.

Western’s Inflatable Kayak Also known as a “duckie” or “duck,” these two- person inflatable kayaks let you challenge the rapids on your own. They also provide a peaceful and relaxing way to recline and gaze up at the spectacular scenery in the calm stretches of river. If you’ve never paddled before, acquiring some basic paddle skills with the help of a guide takes only a few minutes. Inflatable kayaks are available throughout the trip and guests can take turns enjoying the ride.

Physical Requirements for Rafting Trips Our primary concern is participant safety. The nature of an outdoor adventure involves some physical exertion and also possible exposure to weather conditions that can fluctuate greatly due to heat, sun, wind, or rain. We do have experience accommodating persons with a wide range of physical challenges, disabilities, or medical and health conditions. However, we have found that for some people the fact of age, weight, lack of conditioning, heart or other disease, can endanger themselves, other guests or create additional hardship that diminishes the suitability or enjoyment of this type of vacation. Please consider these conditions in making your choice of river adventures. Please check with your physician prior to your trip if you have any medical or health condition or if you are taking any medications, and then notify us of how we can better help you with these conditions. In general, participants will need to meet the following physical requirements:

General Information » The entrance to Arches National Park is just minutes away from Moab. A casual drive, and a few short, easy hikes in Arches will bring you to some of the most astounding scenery on planet earth. You can drive this route on your own, or enjoy a guided Sunset Bus Tour, provided by Moab Adventure Center. On your own, you can explore the famous Delicate Arch (pictured to the right) requiring a moderate self-guided hike; the same can be done with several hikes within the park boundaries.

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK » Canyonlands is vast, and the terrain makes it extremely difficult, and time-consuming to explore by land. A four-day Expedition, which includes a scenic flight over Canyonlands, is also a great way to explore this wilderness of stone, but not a quick option. A few quick ways to see Canyonlands is by Jetboat or by Scenic Flight - both available through Moab Adventure Center. A self-guided drive 45 minutes north of Moab to the overlooks within National Park boundary is also very rewarding. They are impressive! Pictured to the right, is Mesa Arch in the sunrise hours.

DEAD HORSE POINT STATE PARK OVERLOOK » This state park, bordering Canyonlands National Park, is one famous overlook; one of the most photographed overlooks in the world - often mistaken as an image of the (pictured to the right).
