They not only drove the rafts, but they also guided us on hikes into side canyons and up cliffs along the river (often to waterfalls and stream pools that we could swim into or stand under, and fixed 3 fantastic meals each day alongside the river. And we split our group up between the two and sometimes rotated between the two rafts.įor us, the absolute best part of the trip was our interaction with the crew members The next day we all got in a bus for a ride to Lee's Ferry to meet the two rafts and our crews. A smaller bag and Ammo can was for things you might want to use during the day. And another bag for our clothes that all got piled up on the rafts and covered with a tarp that you can't access during the day. One had had a sleeping bag, tarp & sheet, to camp out along the rive each night. Wilderness River Adventures (WRA) provided three bags and an Ammo can to repack our stuff into for the trip. We started out with an overnight (June 9) at the Lake Powell Resort (I entered separate reviews for the hotel & restaurant) to reorganize all our stuff to go on the rafts. My wife, grown son, and I took an 8 Day rafting Trip through the Grand Canyon from June 09 to 17, 2021. Would definitely do again, and recommend this to those who would like a family adventure down the river without too much excitement or risk. Saw different types of birds and different rock formations thru the canyon. We also stopped to view drawings left on the canyon wall. This particular tour went 15 miles down the Colorado river to the Horseshoe Bend in the River. Great way to view the Glen Canyon from the Colorado river perspective. Snacks were also sold at the meeting place. We were allowed to bring snacks into the raft (no coolers). She also gave us a taste of Navajo culture/language. The tour guide (Kim) went out of her way to provide great service by doing things like moving the raft into the shade when the sun was hot, and moving the raft back into the sunshine when it felt cold in the shade. Tour guide (Kim) was excellent, very informative tour. This particular trip was not through rapids, and involved a large raft that accommodate 25 people.

Would recommend to anyone seeking an adventure down the Colorado river.
