Our rafting trip from Loma, Colorado (13 miles west of Grand Junction, Colorado), covers a 30-mile stretch of the Colorado River to Westwater, Utah. This spectacular canyon country of the Colorado Plateau, including Ruby and Horsethief Canyons, features majestic walls of red sandstone and offers some of the best paddling in Colorado. The river is gentle with occasional small Class I+ rapids to add spice to the journey. Roads do not bound this portion of the river and the steep-walled canyons are accessible only from the river, giving the area a true wilderness setting. A bird watchers paradise!
You'll be amazed at stands of shiny granite sculpted by water through the ages while paddling or floating in your lifejacket past the remnants of an ancient volcano called Black Rock. Camping along the river's banks, exploring a natural amphitheater with ancient Freeman Indian rock petroglyphs or hiking into deep box canyons will leave you awed by the immensity of geologic time and the silence of the wilderness. This is BIG COUNTRY in the McDonald Canyon Cultural Resource Area and a geologist's paradise.
