The Grand Canyon River - Rafting Arizona, USA, America
Few conversations about "classic" rafting holidays go much further than talking about the Grand Canyon. This is one of the worlds' best trips, not just for the 226 miles of rafting, but also for the side hikes up canyons and to ancient Indian ruins. For those of you who have seen the Grand Canyon from the rim, that in itself is a stunning experience, set amidst gorgeous granite and marble walls, we camp on spectacular beaches with just the sound of the Colorado River in the background to send us to sleep. We visit ancient Indian ruins high above the Grand Canyon river and view the scenic beauty of this canyon. We run the rapids that Major John Powell ran in this gorge in the late 1800's in wooden dories. Similar boats are still in use in the Grand Canyon! We are amazed at the cleanliness of the campsites and absolute beauty of this area... There is frequently a two year waiting list for a commercial trip and up to 12 years for a private trip. We are so happy to have this departure and very much hope you will be able to join us.
