PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION:

PLAN YOUR SUMMER VACATION ON THE WATER IN UTAH

LOCALLY OWNED RIVER ADVENTURES NEAR PARK CITY

Looking for an unforgettable way to experience Utah’s stunning landscapes? I highly recommend Colorado River & Trail Expeditions (CRATE)—a Park City-based, family-owned river guide company that has been leading world-class rafting trips since 1971. Locally owned by Walker Mackay and his family, CRATE was founded on a passion for the river, and that passion continues to shape every trip today.

Offering both peaceful floats or an adrenaline-pumping
whitewater adventure, CRATE has fully guided excursions for all skill levels. Their expert team provides safe, immersive experiences on some of the most breathtaking rivers in the West, including the Grand Canyon, Cataract Canyon, Desolation Canyon, Westwater Canyon, and beyond—with options ranging from single-day outings to multi-week expeditions.

If you’re looking for a unique way to explore Utah’s natural beauty, this Park City family-run company is the way to go.
