Rafting Cataract Canyon in Canyonlands National Park, Utah
Lauren Wood has been enjoying the rivers of Utah even before she was born. She is a third generation river guide for Holiday River Expeditions, which her grandfather Dee Holladay founded, and her father, John Wood, currently manages. Here she explains why Cataract Canyon should be on The Utah Bucket List and why the river means so much to her. Part of the Utah Bucket List series produced by The Salt Lake Tribune and KUED PBS 7.
Camp LIA: Summer Adventure in Moab
Sixteen urban Latino high school students from Utah kicked off their summer vacation with an unforgettable Take It Outside! weekend adventure on the Colorado River near Moab.
The students slept out under the stars, braved high water runoff, and crushed Class I-II rapids on an overnight river raft trip provided by BLM-Utah, in partnership with Latinos In Action (LIA) and O.A.R.S. Canyonlands, Inc.
Mentors from LIA, the BLM, U.S. Forest Service, and Friends of Arches and Canyonlands Parks shared their insights about education paths and careers in natural resources. The O.A.R.S. river guides demonstrated the value of respecting the environment, looking out for each other, and how to take care of themselves outdoors. Five students from Logan High School were honored with internships to participate as peer leaders.
The students—many of whom had never been camping before-- became fast friends as they shared an action-packed, multi-day outdoor experience. The participants camped and hiked on public lands managed by the BLM-Utah's Moab Field Office; exploring red rock canyons, discovering desert wildlife, and even studying dinosaur tracks.
The learning and fun will continue throughout the summer with Camp LIA day trips to recreation areas in northern Utah, thanks to a partnership with outdoor leadership school Splore. Recreational opportunities include paddle boarding and rock climbing.
All this comes about from cooperation among a team of incredible partners: Latinos In Action; O.A.R.S. Canyonlands, Inc.; Friends of Arches and Canyonlands Parks; National Park Service, Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program; The Outdoor Foundation; Utah State University; US Forest Service Uintah-Wasatch-Cache; Bureau of Reclamation Upper Colorado Region, and Splore.

A huge shoutout to all of the river rats, especially the guides Aaron, Ben, Brian, Joel, McKenna, and most of all Russell, that came along this extensive journey with us. It was great to have and meet you aboard the rafts! Hopefully we will stay in touch. If anybody needs my phone number for any questions or concerns, it is 818-54O-8O33. I really hope you enjoyed this video, and make sure to show it to all of your friends and family. And if you truly enjoyed it, please please please take one minute to leave a comment on how i did. This video took hours to put together (probably a total of 10) and i would really appreciate your honest feedback. My apologies if you did not make it in the video; I lost the 16gb SD card with the first two days of this trip. Most of it was the RZR UTVing that we did prior to this trip, but it sucks that i lost that valuable footage.
Thanks again for watching, and I hope you enjoyed it! Take it easy friends! -Anthony Bonvino

Cataract Canyon - Big White Water Experience
LEARN ABOUT CATARACT CANYON TRIPS:
2 DAY -
4 Day -
Whether you are a seasoned river runner or a beginner, at some point in time you will hear about Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River, just downstream from Moab, Utah.Most people in the world have heard about the Grand Canyon, and its truly spectacular for many reasons. What fewer people know about is Cataract Canyon located several hundred miles upstream, yet also on the Colorado River. Cataract Canyon grows some very big whitewater as winter snows in the upper Colorado Basin melt, and rapids in this canyon corridor found in Canyonlands National Park can rival that which is found in the Grand Canyon.
We offer both 2 day and 4 day expeditions in Cataract Canyon.
