About Us

At Red River Adventures, we strive to ensure that time spent with us is time that you will always look back on fondly. We work hard to provide an experience that is more than a river trip or a day spent climbing. We want to leave you with a memories that bring a smile to your face no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, no matter how much time has passed.

Since the spring of 2003 Red River Adventures has been offering the finest outdoor adventures available, period. We pride ourselves in the quality of our trips and our ability to work with our guests. In an industry that is often about tight schedules and ordering your adventure by the number
Red River Adventures is more than happy to customize any of our trips where ever feasible.

We've had the opportunity to host weddings, receptions, family reunions and corporate team building events. We have helped major universities with trips focused on geology, photography and creative writing. We've hosted journalists and even helped with a funeral. We did these trips not because we offered them, we did these trips because we are willing to work with the guest to provide exactly what they envisioned.

We are an owner operated business staffed with people who make their living in the outdoors. No matter the season you'll find the owners, guides and staff outside. Rafting is only one of the things that we love. We climb mountains, rock and ice, we mountain bike, backpack, surf, whitewater and sea kayak, cross country, resort and back country ski, we count owls and desert tortoise, dabble in photography, write guide books, teach skiing and raise children. In short we love the outdoors.

It is through this love of wild places that we have gained a tremendous amount of experience and expertise. From the top of Denali to the Bottom of the Grand Canyon we've been there and become better for it.

In addition to a deep reservoir of personal experience each of our guides has extensive knowledge of whitewater rescue, climbing safety and technique, wilderness first aid and CPR. Each is licensed by the state of Utah and insured. In addition, our guides are intimately acquainted with not only the river and rock, but also the incredible surroundings of the Moab area and the entire Colorado Plateau.

Our goal is to make your vacation special. Through sharing our love of the outdoors, rock and rivers and the incredible country through which they run we hope to make Moab, rafting and Red River Adventures places that you will want to return to again and again.

See you out there!
