What You’ll Really Gain by Taking a Grand Canyon Rafting Trip

February 29, 2016

If you’re like many others, you may already know about the excitement and thrill of white water rafting. A full 28% of Americans currently participate (or plan to participate) in this heart-pumping activity. You may also already know that the Grand Canyon is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but did you know that rafting through it is the only way to experience it up-close.


When you’re out on a Colorado River rafting adventure, there are many things that you will experience. Our multi day trips will bring you closer to your travel companions as you hike, explore, and raft your way through the canyon. You’ll learn about the 5 million years of history hidden inside the canyon and you’ll see some of the most breath-taking natural scenery.


Most importantly, you’ll spend some valuable time with your friends and family away from the stressors of everyday life. On our trips, you can enjoy the simple pleasure of being with your loved ones in Mother Nature’s company.


There is no cell-phone service down in the chasm and that’s alright by us. We spend too much of our time wasting away in front of screens. Computer screens, TV screens, cell phone screens — they all take away from the wonderful world around us. Our thirst for adventure is never quenched if we don’t put the technology away and step outside. It’s time to gather the family, get your hands a little dirty in the earth’s rich offerings, and take a trip out to the Grand Canyon.


Explore a full 277 miles of the Colorado River on a Grand Canyon rafting trip. There is no better way to fully immerse yourself in the majesty and magic of the Grand Canyon until you gather your loved ones and explore it all together. Memories are best when they can be shared with others — call us for a reservation and start making unforgettable memories today!
