Castle Valley is the poster child for western landscapes, and you’ve probably already seen it somewhere in a movie, TV show, or commercial. And if somehow you have, in fact, never laid eyes on Castle Valley before, you’re not going forget it once you do!

This serene section of the Colorado River moseys through a big beautiful red-rock canyon. As for the waters here along the Colorado River, it stays pretty warm from late spring to early fall.

You’ll spend most of your time floating, with a few Class II rapids to cool you off along the way. Expect plenty of fascinating interpretations and fun stories from your river guide on this mild trip!

What To Expect

Meet us at our Moab office! After you're checked in and fitted for a life jacket, we'll take a scenic shuttle out to the most dramatic section of Castle Valley along the Colorado River. After a quick safety orientation we'll hit the river, floating into the beautiful red rock canyon of Castle Valley. In between the friendly class II rapid sections, your guide will share stories about the area's rich history, how these geologic wonders formed, and probably some river lore and good old fashioned dad jokes. The afternoon section comes with more rapids between the flat water stretches, so feel free to paddle with your guide, or sit back and enjoy the splashes. After a couple hours on this serene stretch of the Colorado River, we'll take out and shuttle back to our office.

  • Great Half-Day River Tour for Families

    We went on the half-day, 5-mile rafting tour and had a fantastic experience. The trip was very well organized by Mild to Wild — everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Irving was a great guide! He kept things fun, safe, and engaging for everyone. Our nine and ten year old kids especially loved jumping into the river and playing with other kids on the nearby rafts. We felt comfortable the whole time and really enjoyed this unique and memorable adventure. Highly recommend!

    Our 1/2 day float on the Colorado River with Mild to Wild Tours was fantastic. We were paired with Sam, who was wonderful. He provided fun while also teaching us many interesting facts about the River and surrounding land. He was very safe and professional. We had a blast in the class I and II rapids and also were able to jump into the River several times for some swimming and cooling off. Our whole group decided this was the best of our adventures in Moab.

  • Great experience!
