Sunset On the River

Colorado River, Moab2–3 hours

About This Adventure

Sunset on the Colorado isn't just beautiful — it's transformative. As the sun drops below the rim, the 2,000-foot canyon walls cycle through a spectrum of color that no photograph fully captures. The river slows, the air cools, and the only sound is your paddle dipping into glassy water. Our guides know exactly which stretch to float, where to pause, and when to let the silence do the talking. Landing at the lodge dock as the stars begin to appear is the kind of moment people come to Moab for but rarely find.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Launch time varies by season — typically 2 hours before sunset. We'll confirm the exact time when you book.

  • Yes, ages 6 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult in the same watercraft.
