Overview & Highlights
Prepare for a five day journey through the heart of Canyonlands National Park, designed to help you unplug, slow down, and reconnect with yourself and nature while building a new community of like-minded people. This is the same iconic stretch of river through Cataract Canyon, with one additional day built in to give us more time to connect, reflect, and be fully present. It is a true digital detox and a break from the constant noise of everyday life.
Guided by Zak Hazlett (@the_outdoor_therapist) and an experienced river team, this retreat creates even more space to step away from stress and return to what matters. With an extra day on the river, conversations can deepen, relationships can form more naturally, and there is more room to integrate what you are learning about yourself. You will gain clarity, build a deeper relationship with yourself, and leave with a renewed sense of authenticity and a growth mindset that lasts long after the trip ends.
The journey begins with two days of calm water and expansive canyon views as we float 49 miles through Canyonlands to the Confluence of the Colorado and Green Rivers. Along the way, we will hike and explore ancient Ancestral Puebloan petroglyphs, guided by our team. This portion of the trip is about slowing down, connecting, laughing, and being fully present together.
On days three and four, we enter Cataract Canyon and take on some of the most legendary whitewater in North America. Spreading the rapids over two days allows for a more spacious and intentional experience. These days are exhilarating and powerful, inviting you to lean into challenge, trust, and shared support. If rapids make you nervous, that is okay. Growth often lives on the edge of our comfort zone, and we will face it together.
On the final day, we glide across the calm waters of Lake Powell to our takeout at Hite Marina. From here, you choose how your journey ends. Transportation back to Moab by van is available for an additional $50. You may also choose a scenic flight back over Canyonlands for an additional $300, or have your vehicle shuttled to the takeout point for $250 per vehicle so you can continue exploring the area on your own.
