Grand Canyon Rafting

Rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in Arizona is definitely one of the experiences I want to do most. I know a couple of people who did a 3-week trip on the river in the canyon and I just haven't been able to get it set or organized for me to do.

Here is a description I found on a website offering rafting trips in the Grand Canyon:

"Exploring the Grand Canyon by river is an experience unlike any other. Discover hidden waterfalls and paradisiacal side canyons - areas of Grand Canyon National Park that are accessible only by river. Listen to the sound of the mighty Colorado River as you lie down under a blanket of innumerable stars each night after your Grand Canyon rafting experience. Watch the morning sun cast its warm glow through towering canyon walls. Discover the rush of excitement from legendary Colorado River whitewater."

There are a number of rafting tours that range from day trips that you can even take helicoptors from Las Vegas to multi-week excursions where everything you pack in, you pack out with you as well.
