Only 130 years ago, maps of the United States showed a great blank space in the southwestern corner of the continent labeled "Terra Incognita" - Unknown Land. What lay within the boundaries of this vast and unexplored territory was only speculation until John Wesley Powell launched the first journeys into the heart of this region, which we know today as the Colorado Plateau. He discovered a land of color and form, of light and shadow, of immense space and time - a wrinkled country of canyons, plateaus and rivers so expansive that it defied imagination.

Red River Canoe Company is delighted to call this land home, and we invite you to come explore our backyard. We offer single and multi-day guided canoe excursions into this landscape, while outfitting you to discover your own landscapes.
