Searching for the Grand Canyon river rafting trip that has it all? Here's one that features a smooth-water float excursion, a backcountry Jeep journey, as well as an airline flight that will cover in 30 minutes what would take days to see by walking.
This seasonal trip (operates from April to November) begins with a plane flight from the South Rim's Grand Canyon National Park Airport. The airplane bears east where you'll see the Painted Desert, the Navajo Indian Reservation and the exact stretch of Colorado River on which you'll be floating down.
You'll deplane at Page, AZ, as well as transfer to a 4x4 Jeep for a backcountry trip to well-known Antelope Canyon, home to slot canyons. These narrow passages, a few of which hardly allow a bunch walk single-file between them, are made of magnificently weathered Navajo sandstone and are a photographer's paradise.
The Jeep then takes you to imposing Glen Canyon Dam, a 700-foot giant that proudly tames the grand Colorado River. You'll burrow via a 2-mile access tunnel until you get to the banks of the river where you'll board your professional-grade, motorized adventure raft.
The float journey travels to Horseshoe Bend, a wonderful "U" in the river that beautifully contrasts the river's aqua blue waters against the glowing orange sandstone cliffs. Further downstream, you'll get out on a sandy beach and take a rapid walk to view a set of ancient petroglyphs.
You'll carry on and pontoon down the Colorado before you reach the historical town of Lee's Ferry, founded by John D. Lee, who was employed by the Church of Mormon to run the ferry service so church members could make their way south. Building of Navajo Bridge in 1928 closed down the ferry. Today, the town, which consists of a vintage fort as well as trading post, is the starting point for multi-day white-water expeditions.
Lee's Ferry is also the place you'll shift to a climate-controlled luxury coach and return to the South Rim. On the way, you will see from ground level what you covered earlier by air. There's also a stop at Cameron Trading Post, which markets real Navajo Indian crafts.
During summer, carry lots of sunscreen and dress in loose, comfortable clothes. I additionally suggest a hat along with a brim. Swimming is urged, so either wear your trunks at the get-go or wear your suit under your clothes. Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of water, which will be supplied as part of the trip.
Excellent guides make this trip remarkable. The airplane section contains a taped narration translated in 10 languages. Your river guide is familiar with the Colorado like the back of his hand and is happy to expound on the region's geology and natural history. Bus drivers are well versed on the wonderful surroundings and landmarks you will be passing through on your way back to the South Rim.
I find this float trip with airline journey and bus journey to be one of the best trip deals offered at the South Rim. Additionally it is priced appropriately. But savvy travelers can get a much better deal if they buy it on the Internet. Remarkably, I've observed it discounted by up to 35%.
This 1-day smooth-water float tour is a wonderful way to enjoy the Grand Canyon. Rendering it a much more wonderful bundle would be the aircraft, jeep, and coach segments. Kids aged 4 years or more can do it. And there aren't any rigorous fitness needs. All that you should carry will be your feeling of adventure. Then prepare yourself for the best canyon experience of your lifetime.
