Desolation and Gray Canyons

Meet the challenge of the rapids here. Be the strong person in kayak or canoe, pitting yourself against the rapids, or take the waves, highs and lows on a inflatable raft. Hang on tight and scream your head off. The stretches of quiet water are welcomed. All too soon your adventure with the river is over and a part of you will never be the same.

Big Horned Sheep are often seen in Gray Canyon when they come to feed and water along the river. Watch for them in the mornings and evenings.
