Grand Canyon Rafting Trips:
Rafting Trips are the Best Way to See the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the most popular places on the entire North American continent, and one of the best ways to see it is by taking one of the Grand Canyon rafting trips that have become so famous. Taking Grand Canyon rafting trips can be expensive, so make sure you book your trip early and talk to your travel agent to see if there are any deals that you might be able to get that can cut down the price. Of course, the price of the trip is completely worth it as you will see as you raft down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon—one of the world’s seven wonders.
Rivers and Oceans
Rivers and Oceans (found on the Internet at rivers-oceans.com), offers Grand Canyon rafting trips. They offer two types of rafting trips: rafting trips that last for a few days and whitewater rafting trips that only last for a single day. You can book these rafting trips online through the Rivers and Oceans web site. The rafting trips offered by this company will take you by either oar boat or motor boat and will take you to the western part of the canyon, the upper part of the canyon, the lower part of the canyon or, if you have the time and can afford it—through the entire canyon; this kind of rafting trip can take between six and ten days.
Outdoors Unlimited
Outdoors Unlimited (web site: outdoorsunlimited.com) also offers Grand Canyon rafting trips. These are whitewater rafting trips that follow the Colorado River all the way through the Grand Canyon (all two hundred and forty miles of it) all the way to Lake Mead, which is outside Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a thirteen to fifteen day rafting trip, but it is worth the time as you will never experience a trip quite like the one you will take through the Grand Canyon. The best time to take one of these Grand Canyon rafting trips is in either April or September because that is when the weather is the best.
Oars
Oars is another company (web site: oars.com/grandcanyon/) that will take you on Grand Canyon rafting trips. The Oars trips use dories to take you through the Grand Canyon and the trip makes many stops along the way for hiking and exploring in the side canyons, eating meals and relaxing. You only spend about four hours actually in the boat. The rest is spent enjoying the nature that accompanies Grand Canyon rafting trips.
