The Moab Daily river run on the Colorado River is a popular day trip for paddlers of all skill levels. The Hittle Bottom to Take Out Beach section offers gentle rapids and stunning red rock scenery. The river has a few class II rapids that are easily navigable, but caution should be taken at the Wall Street rapid, a class III rapid that requires careful navigation. The best time to float this section is from mid-April to mid-October, with a recommended flow of 1000 to 5000 cfs. Overall, this is a great section for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
