 Utah Yoga & Wellness | Western River Expeditions 

Whitewater, Adventure & FUN!

J Rig Rafts - Safe, Exhilarating Ride

J Rig Rafts - Safe, Exhilarating Ride

The grandfather of all river trips & major bucket list, the Grand Canyon is known as the biggest whitewater in North America & most beautiful scenery.  We implement the calming techniques learned at camp on the rivers' churning rapids. With awe inspiring scenery, unplugged & smiles all day, it's wellness at it's best.

Experience the Grand Canyon in style. Western's J Rig Rafts are the Cadillac of the canyon. Equipped with high power, quiet motors & seating for every type of adventurer, 

the J Rig caters to both conservative scenic riders & mechanical bull enthusiasts alike.  

(2 boats each accommodate 18 guests/2 guides.)

Scenic Hikes & Ancient History

Waterfalls & Breathtaking Views

Stretch your raft legs with beautiful hikes to pictographs/petroglyphs, breathtaking waterfalls, infamous Nankoweap (shown) 

Little Colorado, Havasu & more.

Wet or dry, there's plenty of canyon activity to work up an appetite for the delicious dinners.

Waterfalls & Breathtaking Views

Not everyone gets to experience the Canyon from the bottom. It simply can't be described in pictures, as it truly is an experience of a lifetime. You'll have a hard time putting your camera down as you play & jump from waterfalls, sit back in awe of the carved history, enjoying  nature at it's finest.

Havasu, Little Colorado & More

Waterfalls & Breathtaking Views

Havasu, Little Colorado & More

Experience the infamous Havasu Canyon from the bottom where it meets the river, swim the turquoise waters of the Little Colorado (LCR) and explore more side canyons than you'd ever expect were there. It's truly the greatest adult playground in the world.

Camp Stretch & Meditation
