THE BEST LEADERS & GUIDES
TAKE IT FROM OUR GUESTS
DINING…WESTERN STYLE
Many things set Western apart. First and foremost are
our guides. Since most of our guides return year after
year, we choose only a handful of the very best from
hundreds of applicants. Then, through one of the most
rigorous training programs in the industry, each of our
guides receives hundreds of hours of training in river
safety, culinary arts, and natural history interpretation
— assuring you the highest possible levels of both service and security. Repeatedly, our guests tell us their
guides were the best part of their trip.
“This was an incredible trip for our family. We have not stopped talking
about how much fun we had and how great the people were that we
met. As great as everything was, truly the guides were the key to making
this trip so fantastic. They were all absolutely amazing. They were not
only expert rafters, but great cooks, funny, outgoing, and kind. We all
miss them. We have so many wonderful memories. This trip was a true
gift. We will treasure it for the rest of our lives. Thank you for a family
vacation of a lifetime.”
JEAN CORTES, Connecticut: Cataract Canyon
Rafting creates big appetites and Western knows just
how to satisfy them. At sun-up, you might think you’re
still dreaming when you see plates of steaming flapjacks, fresh fruit and scrambled eggs, but it’s the way
every morning on the river begins. Lunch will likely
include meats and cheeses, delicious breads, along with
crisp vegetables and a variety of spreads. Tasty chicken
and veggie wraps or perhaps chicken salad pitas may
also be part of Western’s mid-day buffet. Every night is
different, but the dinner menu will likely include grilled
chicken breasts, tender steaks, pasta, or fresh fish.
“I did a trip last year with another company and only wish I could
have found Western a year ago. You are truly a class act. The equipment was fantastic (cots, folding chairs and new clip tents), food was
great, and the guides for sure made the trip. I would not hesitate to
recommend Western to anyone and everyone.”

“This trip was truly life changing for me. I know, it sounds trite, but it
was. I had never camped, and frankly, was not what I would consider an
adventure traveler. This trip was wonderful. Our guides were terrific.
They knew their business, did it well (both on and off the river), and
made me feel comfortable and safe. The sky was better than anything you
could get in a hotel room!”

Although every one of Western’s rafting
vacations and River Ranch Adventures
would create an unforgettable family

Quality Family Time…Together
A rafting vacation with Western River Expeditions has all the ingredients
for an outstanding family experience: water, adventure, fun, learning, and
for the younger kids, the chance to stay dirty. Parents are guaranteed
some quality time with the kids – away from phones, computers and TV –
plus quality time together as Western’s designated fun director entertains
the kids with games and activities.
Fun for Everyone
Because Western’s designated family trips typically include an oar boat, paddle boat and inflatable kayaks, kids and parents can all share the experience
and each gets exactly what they want out of it, whether they choose to tame
the rapids on their own in a small boat or simply hold on in a big boat.
Highlights Include:
» Warmer water perfect for swimming
» Guided oar boats and inflatable kayaks
» Excellent hikes for kids
» Designated fun director
» Over 60 moderate rapids
» Special rates for youth 16 and under

Memories…
There was a very personal feel to the whole
trip, the river guides did everything they
could to make the whole trip an experience of
a lifetime. The fun didn’t stop when the rafting finished for the day, many an hour was
spent singing as the sun set down below the
canyon walls - Can’t wait to go back!
IAIN ROSS - INVERNESS, SCOTLAND
Cataract Canyon Trip
My family and I just returned from this trip. It
was life changing. This was the best family
vacation we have ever had. My son who is 16
loved it as much as we did. It was perfect
from start to finish. From our first contact
with Western River for reservations to arriving home, it was fantastic. We opted for the
extra day at Bar 10 ranch and were not disappointed. The folks at Bar 10 are the nicest,
friendliest and openhearted people we have
met in a long time. Coming from the east, it
was a real eye opener.

Desolation Canyon, deeper than Grand Canyon, is hardly desolate with its big sandy beaches, sparkling side streams, shady
stands of huge Cottonwoods, and abundant wildlife. A century
ago, this picture-perfect playground was a hiding place for
Butch Cassidy and his gang of bank robbers. Now, with familyfriendly vacation rates, we’ve made it easy for adventurous
families to escape here and play. Ride some 60 fun-filled rapids
in a rowboat with our guide doing all the work, or take a turn
challenging the waves in an inflatable kayak or paddleboat.
Hike to old homesteads and hideouts. Play beach volleyball, or
do nothing at all while Western’s designated “Fun Director”
entertains the kids.

Desolation Canyon, deeper than Grand Canyon, is hardly desolate with its big sandy beaches, sparkling side streams, shady
stands of huge Cottonwoods, and abundant wildlife. A century
ago, this picture-perfect playground was a hiding place for
Butch Cassidy and his gang of bank robbers. Now, with familyfriendly vacation rates, we’ve made it easy for adventurous
families to escape here and play. Ride some 60 fun-filled rapids
in a rowboat with our guide doing all the work, or take a turn
challenging the waves in an inflatable kayak or paddleboat.
Hike to old homesteads and hideouts. Play beach volleyball, or
do nothing at all while Western’s designated “Fun Director”
entertains the kids.

CATARACT CANYON ADVENTURE ~ 4 DAY TRIP
Where the Colorado and Green rivers meet in a timeless setting
called “The Confluence,” Cataract Canyon begins. Bolstered by

INDULGE IN THE ULTIMATE RIVER ODYSSEY.
In the grandest canyon of the Colorado, experience the excitement, serenity, joy and enchanting beauty of the river as it
transforms this divine chasm and those who venture down it.
Raft 188 miles in 6 days, each day descending deeper into geologic time. The Grand Canyon is ever-changing, with massive
walls that step back to expose eons of natural history—at one
place dark and narrow, and at another lush with waterfalls
thundering hundreds of feet in luminous freefall. Daily side
hikes lead you to sparkling streams, pristine pools, green fern
glens, and ancient Anasazi ruins. The Canyon’s scenic
extremes are matched by the size and ferocity of its 60 rapids
where Western’s specially designed J-Rigs will give you maximum excitement and safety. 

INDULGE IN THE ULTIMATE RIVER ODYSSEY.
In the grandest canyon of the Colorado, experience the excitement, serenity, joy and enchanting beauty of the river as it
transforms this divine chasm and those who venture down it.
Raft 188 miles in 6 days, each day descending deeper into geologic time. The Grand Canyon is ever-changing, with massive
walls that step back to expose eons of natural history—at one
place dark and narrow, and at another lush with waterfalls
thundering hundreds of feet in luminous freefall. Daily side
hikes lead you to sparkling streams, pristine pools, green fern
glens, and ancient Anasazi ruins. The Canyon’s scenic
extremes are matched by the size and ferocity of its 60 rapids
where Western’s specially designed J-Rigs will give you maximum excitement and safety. 

The awesome beauty of Grand Canyon continues in the lower
100 miles of the canyon, but the Colorado River’s famous
rapids, though still exciting, are a bit tamer and less challenging. Massive sandstone cliffs conjure up imaginary shapes.
Hidden waterfalls and pools carve their way down to the river.
Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of elusive Blue
Heron, soaring hawks and eagles, and majestic Big Horn
sheep. At night, the canyon walls unveil a heaven of innumerable stars. One of the great features of this 3-day trip is its ease
of access from Las Vegas. Many guests choose to precede this

With its sparkling clear waters and challenging rapids, the Middle
Fork drops over 3,000 feet in 100 miles of breathtaking wilderness. A
spectacular forest of fir and spruce is home to abundant wildlife, Indian rock paintings, and pioneer homesteads. You’ll relax in hot
springs, visit beautiful creeks, hike to magnificent waterfalls, and
camp in mountain meadows. In early season, high water is suited for
the hearty adventurer. By July, moderate technical whitewater is good
for all experience levels. The Middle Fork is a blue ribbon trout stream
and July through September is also the season for the upriver Salmon
and Steelhead runs, so fishing is good, to say the least. 

beaches backed up to pine forests. The Salmon runs through the
heart of the largest road-less wilderness in the lower 48 states. It’s
a country of pines and granite mountains where wildlife abounds
and rock paintings left by ancient inhabitants still exist. 

RAFT FLEET
JUST THE THOUGHT OF RAPIDS makes a first-timer tense and a seasoned rafter
salivate. But rapids should be respected, not feared. Our rafts are designed to ride the
rapids with a measure of safety and Western’s guides are trained to skillfully steer you
through the excitement. Secure handholds, life jackets, and plenty of advance preparation ensure a fun experience. If you’re a thrill seeker, sit up front where the waves hit
hardest, or ride aft for more protection. Either way, plan on having the time of your life.

The rapids on each trip vary, depending on the time of

to the flow of the river to provide the best experience.
For example, a moderate late-season rapid taken in a
small inflatable kayak can be just as thrilling as a monster rapid navigated in a J-rig.
On the Green River, Westwater, Salmon River, & Cataract
(later in the summer), guides adeptly
maneuver three to six-passenger rowboats. These specially designed 18-foot
rafts are “self-bailing” which means
that you’ll never touch a bail bucket,
except for an impromptu water fight!

Bigger rapids demand bigger rafts such as Western’s
patented J-Rig. Where the Colorado River carves
through Cataract Canyon earlier in the summer and on
our Grand Canyon 3, 4, and 6-day trips, J-Rigs are the
vessel of choice for maximum
excitement and safety. Environmentally friendly, quiet 4-stroke
motors power these rugged rafts
specially built for Western.
