Fran West Adventure on the Colorado River, Utah

Moab, in southern Utah, is a real adventure capital. It's the hub of an area which has several national parks, state parks and national monuments and has been in numerous movies.

One of the activities is rafting on the Colorado River. You have a choice to kayak or sit in a raft which takes several people.

I'd recommend the latter if you're wanting to take photos. There are rapids which are a lot of screaming fun but you have to watch out for your camera (the guide does provide a small metal box to keep valuables dry).

You will definitely get drenched but that's the joy of rafting. The compensation is the stunning scenery along the way.
