Short Description
  • You won’t be “seeing the Grand Canyon” on this adventure, you’ll be living it. From the glories of Marble Canyon to the mysteries of the Inner Gorge, this full hiking and Grand Canyon rafting trip gives us time to stop, to look, to listen, and to explore the treasures this wonderland has to offer. We’ll take it all in—terrific side hikes and Native American cultural sites, crystalline creeks and waterfalls, cactus gardens, and whitewater galore. We’re also likely to encounter bighorn sheep, deer, ringtail cats, coyotes, and a large variety of birds from raptors to waterfowl. 
  •  For nearly three-hundred miles, the Colorado River has cut a chasm over a mile deep through a rainbow of ancient rock in Arizona. Nowhere on earth is there a more complete or dramatic geologic storybook. Your guides will enrich the experience with tales of geologic wonders, natural history, and Canyon folklore as we journey 280 miles from Lees Ferry to Pearce Ferry, where our amazing Grand Canyon adventure comes to an end.

  • The Whitmore Wash to Pearce Ferry section of the Colorado River is a good trial for folks not sure they are ready for a longer Grand Canyon rafting trip. We meet you in Las Vegas and transport you by van and small plane to Bar 10 Ranch for an afternoon of ranch activities, including horseback riding, horseshoe pitching, hiking, and skeet shooting, topped off with an evening of country entertainment. 
  • The next morning, you fly into Grand Canyon by helicopter where your rafting guides await your arrival at the river. Once on the rafts, we’ll cross the shattered Hurricane fault zone before heading west into the final majesty of the Lower Grand Canyon. This Grand Canyon rafting trip on the Colorado River provides excellent opportunities to hike and explore this exquisite desert wonderland. Several beautiful side canyons invite you to linger in spring-fed streams. The adventure ends with a jet boat ride to Pearce Ferry and a return shuttle to Las Vegas by van.
