Fisher Towers Section of the Colorado River-Canoe Trip

[natylka]

We would like to spend a day or two canoeing Fisher Towers Section of the Colorado River, which provides a scenic rafting trip suitable for the entire family. We would like to launch at Fisher Towers -Hittle Bottoms, which is 29 miles northeast of Moab. Does anyone know which company can give us a ride back to Fisher Towers? Where is a good place to stop and camp or rest? This is the first time we will be camping when we canoe.

There are a ton of shuttle companies in Moab but I hear it's also pretty easy to just thumb a ride. I don't think you want to canoe that stretch though. It sounds like you're talking about the Moab Daily. It has class III rapids.

Hi, I'm planning on kayaking the Fisher Towers section of the Colorado in august and was wondering if it is long enough for a two day trip, I have some kayaking experience and am comfortable up to class 2 water. Also, where can I find info about where to put in, where to camp, fees, etc, any help you can give me would be appreciated, thanks
