White water, red rock, blue sky: Rafting through two billion years of history. No geologic feature in America inspires the imagination as does the Grand Canyon. A mile deep, up to eighteen miles wide, and slashing through 2 billion years of rock, the Canyon is viewed from above by millions of visitors each year -- but far fewer travel into its depths. Our rafting trip carries us down the entire 280 miles of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, through a hundred whitewater rapids, with a motor to keep us moving so we can relax and enjoy the changing spectacle above us. By day, when we're not river running we'll explore hidden side canyons, hiking among rock sculptures of every color -- black, red, blue, and white -- and enjoying numerous waterfalls and swimming holes. In the evening, socialize over a tasty dinner as you get to know your new friends in our small group -- just 14 of us, plus two guides. By night, sleep under a canopy of stars, as the river continues its journey of the ages. Highlights:
