Synopsis
Rafting 226 miles through the
Grand Canyon is not for the faint of heart but
an adventure of a lifetime. From the depths of the inner gorge, experience
the grandeur of towering canyon walls, pristine waterfalls, wildlife,
delicious food and the most exciting whitewater in the world. This program is considered the premier rafting
adventure in the United States. Raft from Lee's Ferry to Diamond Creek, on a
journey through 1.8 billion years of the earth's history. 8 days of
rafting on a 32' motorized raft (large enough to walk around on); Class IV-V
river with strong currents and large waves; daily hikes from 1-5 miles over
uneven and sometimes rocky terrain.

Description
 Life at the Bottom: The
Ultimate Grand Canyon Whitewater Adventure
The mighty Colorado River and the Grand Canyon
are symbols of
the adventurous spirit of the Southwest. A place where geology, water and
time have created one of our nation's most spectacular natural wonders. A
place where the overwhelming spirit of the present is juxtaposed against the
dawn of life on earth. Enjoy guided hikes to archaeological ruins, narrow
canyons, waterfalls and other treasures only accessible by river. Motor
rafts allow time for exploration and learning - from the canyon's incredible
natural history, to the Native Americans who consider it the birthplace of
humanity, to finally the heroic human saga personified by Major John Wesley
Powell. Touch some of the oldest rocks found on the earth while renewing
your spirit.
Accommodations
2 nights in modern hotel with
clean and spacious rooms, indoor pool and spa. 7 nights camping out under
the stars along the river with equipment provided (tent, sleeping bag and
pad).
