Desolation/Gray Canyons

Desolation and Gray Canyons offer a 74-mile float with the perfect mix of peaceful calmwater and whitewater excitement through one of the deepest canyon systems on the Colorado Plateau. These canyons are also rich in human history: from the prehistoric Fremont culture to 19th century prospectors and homesteaders. Trips usually require a minimum of four days, but longer trips provide better opportunities to explore the many side canyons, rock art panels and other features along these magnificent canyons.
