Tour West Tour West offers River Rafting trips through the Grand Canyon, Cataract Canyon, and the Main Salmon

Remember when you were younger and thought spending 12 days rafting through the Grand Canyon sounded like the greatest adventure imaginable? It still is. The difference is—you can actually do it now. August has already filled, and our June departure has just 8 spaces remaining. These trips can book years in advance. Don’t keep saving this one for someday.

Cataract Canyon starts quietly.
You float down the Colorado River surrounded by the massive red walls of Canyonlands National Park. There’s time to relax, watch the scenery change, hear stories from the river, and look up at some of the darkest night skies anywhere.
And then the river changes.
The walls tighten. The sound gets louder. And Cataract Canyon reminds you why its whitewater is legendary.
It’s peaceful, wild, beautiful and completely unpredictable—all in one trip.

Proud of Our Guides!

We couldn’t be prouder of our guides Joe Swartz and Emma Harding, who were recently awarded scholarships from the Whale Foundation!

Our guides spend their summers sharing their love of the river and the outdoors with our guests, and we love seeing them continue to grow and pursue their educational goals beyond the river.

Joe is pursuing a B.S. in Geology at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.

Emma is pursuing two bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations, with an emphasis on supply chain and healthcare.

We’re excited to cheer them both on as they continue their education and work toward their goals!

A huge THANK YOU to the Whale Foundation for supporting these incredible young people and investing in their futures.

Want to help the next generation of river guides and outdoor professionals? Consider donating to the Whale Foundation. Every contribution helps provide opportunities like these.

We’re so proud of you, Joe and Emma! Keep learning, keep exploring, and keep chasing those dreams!

Tour West River Rafting. You’re floating through ancient geology, historic homesteads, mining stories and a massive protected wilderness where nature still gets to make most of the rules.
And somewhere between all that history?
We’re running rapids, swimming through clear water, eating dinner on the beach and laughing until it gets dark.

Not a bad way to spend a week.

What did we do this summer?

Got splashed.

Ate way too well.

Slept under the stars.

Jumped in the river.

Laughed around camp.

Learned a little history.

Floated through some absolutely ridiculous scenery.

And somehow convinced ourselves that six days in the wilderness still wasn’t long enough.

Cataract Canyon doesn’t always get the attention it so deserves.
Maybe that’s part of what makes it so special.
You get towering red-rock scenery, peaceful stretches of the Colorado River, Canyonlands National Park, incredible night skies, fascinating history and some seriously big whitewater.
It feels remote.
It feels wild.
And by the time you fly back over the canyon at the end, you realize just how much country you covered.

Thank you, Candice, for sharing such a wonderful review of your family’s Main Salmon River adventure! We’re so happy to hear how much your family of 22 enjoyed their 6-day, 5-night trip with us.

“Our family (22 of us) joined Tour West for their 6 day, 5 night Salmon River trip. I was admittedly anxious leading into the experience and stepping well out of my comfort zone. However, within five minutes down the river I was at ease and wishing we would have more time. The guides were exceptional across the board, each with their own unique rafting styles and personalities. Throughout the week we all took turns swapping rafts every day to enjoy them all. Our teen girls had the benefit of rafting frequently with our guide Daisy and she wowed them with her strength and technique through the rapids. My boys probably spent almost half of the time on the water in duckies! Our guide Alex was so helpful in teaching them the river and rapids as they had never done anything like this before. My youngest fell in love with the river so much he made a pact to come back to kayak again and train to be to guide himself some day! There are no words that can express the beauty and peace that we experienced throughout the week, from the majestic serenity of the river to the exceptional night sky views sleeping under the stars every night. If you are hesitant for any reason, don't be. This is a trip you will not regret with a company that far exceeded any expectations had!”

Thank you, Candice, for choosing Tour West and for trusting us with such a special family adventure!

We love knowing that the river made such an impression—and that we may have a future river guide in the family!
