Diamond Peak…Lees Ferry and all points in between…

Grand Canyon ExpeditionsGCEX Main Leave a Comment

Diamond  Peak at an elevation of 3,512 feet. On its journey from the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River travels over 1450 miles, with an average drop of 8 to 10 feet per mile through the Grand Canyon. This is our landmark to share with our guests on how far they have descended on their trip with Grand Canyon Expeditions!

Diamond Peak is at river mile 224 in Grand Canyon, with its distinctive pyramid shape.  The river is wide and deep here, but by the terminus at the Gulf of California, every drop will have been used by man.

You will need to travel the entire Grand Canyon in order to see Diamond Peak. GCE only runs the entire length of Grand Canyon, so, only then can you honestly say, I RAN THE GRAND …all the way!
