explorethecanyon.com Some Grand Canyon tours are easy to join, but
for many of the Grand Canyons most exciting and popular tours, it
helps to plan ahead especially if youre planning on going rafting
down the Colorado River, the Grand Canyons original architect. Some
rafting trips require years of planning, reservations, permits, and
training, but luckily, there are other ways to experience the
bottom of the canyon. Have you been on a rafting tour before?

experienced Hualapai tour guides have started offering one-day
rafting trips down the canyons core. A typical rafting trip would
take considerably more time, but with this quick and all-inclusive
package deal, you can leave Peach Springs and be back in time for
dinner with the experience of a lifetime under your belt.

explorethecanyon.com The rafting tour begins at 8 in the morning,
when a bus full of participants leave from Peach Springs. The bus
follows the only road that leads into the Grand Canyon, and the
views along the way are particularly staggering. As the bus
approaches the raging Colorado, participants would begin to see
their guides standing alongside the very boats that will soon carry
tourists along 26 miles of river including a few stretches of
rapids. Are you up for the challenge?

the rapids can be a life changing experience, and at very least, it
should be refreshing. Why? Because the Colorado River is a brisk 45
degrees, contrasting with the 100 degree temperatures at the bottom
of the canyon. Trust me you wont mind a little cold water after a
day or two in Arizona.

calm stretches of river where the canyon walls extend 3,000 feet

canyon to be even more impressive than the view from above, and
theres only one way to find out which is truly the most striking
being there. Beautiful Views from All Angles
