Canyonlands National Park
Canyonland National Park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River and their tributaries. The rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character and offers different opportunities for exploration. There are no roads that directly link each district, so getting to each district will take some driving time on paved highways. |

Paddle to the heart of Canyonlands. There the Green and Colorado Rivers join. You can rendezvous with Tag-A-Long Expeditions to roof rack your touring kayak or canoe, stow your camping gear, then jet boat up the Colorado River back to Moab, Utah. |

The Maze District of Canyonlands National Park envelopes a labyrinth of canyons, challenging 4WD trails and hard-to-reach, but well-worth-reaching rock art panels. If this rugged adventure poses too enumerable barriers to you, consider a professional outfitter, like Tag-A-Long Expeditions of Moab, Utah, to lead and care for you in this outstanding landscape. |

Cataract Canyon in Canyonlands National Park serves up 28 Grand Canyon Style rapids. It is one hundred miles of the Colorado River from Moab, Utah to Lake Powell. Tag-A-Long Expeditions offers 1 - 4 day rafting trips. And this May and June visitors will want an outfitter to lead them, as record snow melt is recorded in the Rocky Mountains. High water on an unbridled Colorado River will be terrific and this level of rafting comes around only every ten years or so. Enjoy the solitude only Utah can provide. |

A brief break from hiking in Canyonlands National Park. Sitting on a cliff, high above it all in the Island in the Sky District. |

Wild video of two rafters taken in Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park. This was taken during high water, so the rapids are incredibly difficult. The last one knocks the two rafters off their boat, for a rough ride in the river. A sight to see. |
