Whitewater rafting through the Grand Canyon offers explorers a unique view and a sense of awe in one of the most globally recognized and majestic Wonders of the World. For many world travelers witnessing the Canyon from the riverÂ’s view is a profound, life-altering experience. There is a common misconception that to reserve space on a Grand Canyon rafting trip means spending over a year or more on a long waiting list. Recent Park Service changes allows for commercial operators, like Arizona River Runners, to still fulfill the travel dreams of visitors during this 2011 Summer rafting season, which runs from April through October.
Arizona River Runners offers a variety of Colorado River rafting experiences. Their 6 & 7 Day motorized rafting trips fit perfectly into a weekÂ’s vacation, and are their most popular. For those wanting a shorter trip try the 3 Day Escape, with time to unwind on a real working ranch before two days of rafting!
