Bike & Raft - Moab/Westwater, La Sal Mountains & Colorado River
For over a century, Moab existed in obscurity, until the first mountain bikers discovered that this was the place. Today, Moab is the premier destination for mountain bikers from around the world. Holiday’s La Sal Mountain loop embodies the heart-thumping style of wilderness riding that has propelled this region to fame. Giant ponderosa pine trees stand as sentinels along the 25-mile route leading to the overlook of Fisher Valley. Day two of the trip stuns the senses as you descend 4,000 vertical feet, from alpine forests to the red rock desert at Onion Creek. Combined with two days on the Colorado River, this four-day excursion provides the best of the best ... unprecedented mountain biking and world-class whitewater rafting.

Trip Itinerary
Day 1: Mountain Biking Meet group at headquarters in Green River, Utah. A two-hour van ride to the Manti - La Sal National Forest marks the start of the trip. The first day's ride will take the group along old logging roads through forests consisting of huge ponderosa pine trees and abundant mountain streams. The trail continues to wind northward to altitudes upwards of 8,000 feet. Camp on this evening is made at or near Bull Draw.
Day 2: Alpine Forest Your ride today requires each and all to tighten their helmet straps and hold on! After a hot breakfast the route begins a breathtaking descent from alpine forest to desert floor. Along the way, you'll take time out to appreciate the spectacular overlooks that are abundant in this region. By the end of the day, you will have dropped 4,000 vertical feet to the desert floor.
Day 3: Whitewater Rafting Put-in on the Colorado River at the Westwater Ranger Station. Relaxing float to Little Hole Canyon's natural amphitheater where shards of Indian pottery can be seen. In favorable conditions a short hike up Little Dolores Canyon reveals a beautiful desert waterfall and swimming hole. Camp near Little Dolores.
Day 4: The Rapids of Westwater Leisurely breakfast before rapids of Westwater. Rapids, one right after another, Marble, Staircase, Hunter's, Funnel Falls, and Surprise... lead to Skull Rapid, one of the Colorado's fiercest drops.
