Experience Moab in a whole new way with our guided winter rafting trips on the Colorado River. The Fisher Towers section winds through some of the most stunning scenery in Moab. Towering sandstone spires, calm winter light, and quiet canyon walls.
If you're looking for unique winter activities in Moab, this off-season river trip is a peaceful and memorable option.
This is a relaxed, scenic Class I–II float suitable for beginners, families, and anyone who wants to enjoy the river without summer crowds. Winter brings stillness to the canyon, making it a great time for photography, wildlife viewing, and simply slowing down.
We recommend dressing in warm, layered clothing (base layers, warm socks, insulating mid-layers, and a windproof outer shell). We provide warm blankets, hot drinks, and rest breaks to keep everyone comfortable.
