Westwater Canyon
The Westwater trip meets and returns to Grand Junction, Colorado. Space on this trip is very limited and early reservations are suggested. Westwater Canyon is a Gem of the Colorado River. Sheer sandstone walls climb over 1,500 feet above the river, and eagles soar overhead. Side canyon stops include a delicious riverside lunch and optional, easy, exploratory hikes to hidden treasures including Indian Petroglyphs, waterfalls, and historic sites Outlaw Cave and Miner’s Cabin. Unwind…and enjoy the beauty and solitude of this scenic desert country. Starting at Westwater Ranch, elevation 4,300 feet, the amazing geology of this canyon unfolds before you. Sandstone Cliffs are displaced by the upheaval of the Colorado Plateau, exposing the oldest rock layer in the world-the hard, black Precambrian metamorphic gneiss and schist. Now the adventure begins! Westwater Canyon on the Colorado River is ideal as a destination adventure, or as a one day.
