Some Grand Canyon tours are easy to join, but for many of the Grand Canyon’s most
exciting and popular tours, it helps to plan ahead – especially if you’re planning on going
rafting down the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon’s original architect. Some rafting trips
require years of planning, reservations, permits, and training, but luckily, there are other
ways to experience the bottom of the canyon.
Have you been on a rafting tour before?

Grand Canyon has a great package deal.!
Grand Canyon West is home to the Hualapai Indian Tribe, and a few experienced Hualapai
tour guides have started offering one-day rafting trips down the canyon’s core. A typical
rafting trip would take considerably more time, but with this quick and all-inclusive package
deal, you can leave Peach Springs and be back in time for dinner with the experience of a
lifetime under your belt.

The rafting tour begins at 8 in the
morning, when a bus full of
participants leave from Peach
Springs. The bus follows the only road
that leads into the Grand Canyon,
and the views along the way are
particularly staggering. As the bus
approaches the raging Colorado,
participants would begin to see their
guides standing alongside the very
boats that will soon carry tourists
along 26 miles of river – including a
few stretches of rapids.
Are you up for the challenge?

45 Degrees & 26 Miles of River
Being in the rapids can be a life changing
experience, and at very least, it should be
refreshing. Why? Because the Colorado River is
a brisk 45 degrees, contrasting with the 100
degree temperatures at the bottom of the
canyon. Trust me – you won’t mind a little cold
water after a day or two in Arizona.

It’s not all rapids though – there will be long, calm stretches of river where the canyon walls
extend 3,000 feet into the sky. Many people consider the view from the bottom of the
canyon to be even more impressive than the view from above, and there’s only one way
to find out which is truly the most striking – being there.
Beautiful Views from All Angles

Old Stories of the Grand Canyon
After a time spent gliding down calm waters and
crashing through cool rapids, the tour group will
arrive at a landing where tour guides will assist in
reaching a natural waterfall not far from the river.
While the tour group cools off and rests, the tour
guides tell stories about the canyon’s history and
the millions of years of geological history that
surrounds the river.
