Short Description: 6-day rafting/Colorado River in Grand Canyon
Long Description: Grand Canyon 6 Day
Colorado River 6 Days, 5 Nights
WORLD-CLASS ADVENTURE. In the grandest canyon of the Colorado, experience the excitement, serenity, joy and indescribable beauty of the river as it
transforms this magnificent chasm and those who venture down it. You'll raft 187 miles in 6 days, each day descending deeper into geologic time. The Grand Canyon is ever-changing, with massive walls that step back to expose eons of natural history-at one place dark and narrow, and at another lush with waterfalls thundering hundreds of feet in luminous freefall. Daily side hikes take you to sparkling streams, breathtaking pools, green fern glens, and ancient Anasazi Indian ruins. The Grand Canyon's scenic extremes are matched by the size and ferocity of its 60 rapids where Western's specially designed J-Rigs will give you maximum excitement and safety.
Testimonials: A few comments from some of our Guests...
I have been to Mexico, the Bahamas, and Europe. I have gone skydiving, bungee jumping, and flown in a fighter trainer. This trip has been without a doubt the most memorable experience I've ever had. This trip has done something others haven't. It has truly touched our souls.
Mike McKeaveney - Meridian, CT
Our guides were courteous, helpful, well-groomed, extremely knowledgeable, and above all else it was obvious that they hold a passion for, and respect for the river, and truly love what they are doing. Never once did I feel that they were just 'doing their job.'
Penny Conner - Newport Beach, CA
They were knowledgeable about the region, great boatmen, incredible cooks, caring guides, and memorable entertainers.
Karin Appelbaum - Ft. Meyers, FL
Your J-Rig and all of the equipment you supplied were top quality. The design of your J-Rig provided both maximum comfort for the less adventuresome and exhilarating thrills for the white water fans. However, most surprising was the quality and quantity of food. We never expected gourmet meals prepared with style at the bottom of the canyon.
Stuart, Meg, and Eric Yoak - University City, MO
These young people displayed kindness, patience, knowledge, manners, enthusiasm, and determination. They made everyone young or old, feel good. They were always ready to share their knowledge, always seemed interested in each person's life story and ready to assist the older ones¿
Dominique Legeai - N. Barrington, IL
Your guides are enthusiastic, well-educated about the region, extraordinarily hard working, unfailingly kind and helpful, and creative and funny. As someone who works in the customer service business, I appreciate how rare those qualities are. Western River is very lucky to have people like them. Every detail was expertly managed, but even more impressive, it was managed with respect for the environment and a focus on safety that was particularly reassuring.
Eve Hutcherson - Nashville, TN
From the moment I first met your team, I was greeted with a smile, taken care of with great attention to detail, given thorough explanations about procedure and safety, and then told fascinating tales about the river and its magical history. Their generosity and good spirit made all of us feel that we'd made real friends with whom we could be ourselves - in comfort and ease.The trip was filled with laughter, singing, fabulous food, fun games and first class service from beginning to end. These are memories that are truly priceless and will never be forgotten.
Lainie Sorkin - Beverly Hills - CA
Our guides were so aware of everyone's safety at all times that we were able to ride the wild rapids and hike narrow trails confidently.
Marnie Meyer - Paradise Valley, AZ
Those on your reservations staff with whom we talked and corresponded were fully cooperative and helpful and answered all our questions promptly and accurately.
James Henry - New York, NY
This trip was my second trip and just slightly better than my first which was perfect!
Vincent Allen - Lubbock, TX
What an experience!! We've been a few places and done a few things but this must be placed at the top of the list of the most awe inspiring, rush-inducing, near religious experience yet!
Steve and Pat Sessions - Lakeside, CA
The scenery was breathtaking, the food was simply delicious, the hikes were unbelievable, the rapids were quite hysterical, and the camps were pitched in postcard-perfect settings.
Steve and Jesse Sampson - Brookings, SD
