River Runs Kayaking Whitewater


The Satan's Staircase river run in Utah's North Fork of Zion Park is a thrilling adventure for experienced rafters. The river has many obstacles like Class III rapids, steep drops, and narrow chutes, making it a challenging run. The best time to float this section of water is in the spring when snowmelt increases the flow. However, it is essential to check the water levels as they can fluctuate quickly. A minimum flow of 500 cfs is recommended to ensure a safe and enjoyable run. Overall, this river run is not for the faint of heart and requires a high level of skill and experience.
