(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, June 19, 2013 ) GRAND CANYON, Arizona—The fall season is just around the corner and opting to plan a once in a lifetime Grand Canyon rafting trip in the shoulder season offers many advantages for travelers. Grand Canyon rafting company, Arizona River Runners offers whitewater rafting trips through October, giving families plenty of time to plan a post-summer vacation and experience the Grand Canyon “from the bottom up”.
The colors of fall add even more beauty to the already breathtaking landscape of the Grand Canyon and travelers who choose to take an unforgettable Grand Canyon rafting trip during September and October reap the rewards of traveling during a season that brings cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. Experiencing the Grand Canyon from the bottom instead of just the top like most tourists experience it, gives travelers the chance to see this famous natural wonder from a truly unique vantage point.
Guests that are willing to take some adventurous extra hikes will be treated to breathtaking viewpoints and unforgettable side-canyon explorations---side hikes guide travelers into some lesser-seen parts of the Grand Canyon. Each day, passengers will experience the astounding views of hidden waterfalls, ancient Indian ruins, and magnificent overlooks. Side canyon hikes can be an even more enjoyable experience in the cooler fall temperatures.
On a rafting trip with Arizona River Runners, guests spend days exploring the exhilarating rapids of the Colorado River while taking in the brilliant scenery that includes spectacular hues splashed on canyon walls, towering rock formations, and stunning landscapes. Evenings are spent in scenic riverside camps, with chances to visit with new and old friends around the campfire while feasting on delicious riverside fare. At night, guests bed down on comfortable cots, bathed in the starlight of the magical Grand Canyon.
For those that want even more hiking opportunities, Arizona River Runners also offers hike-in and hike-out options on select whitewater rafting trips. Some additional physical conditioning is required for the mandatory 7.5 mile hike in or out on the 6 and 8-day oar powered trips. Additional Grand Canyon rafting trips are offered from May-October.
