A helpful hint for the end of your Arizona rafting excursion:

IF you are on a raft trip that concludes with a helicopter flight out of the Grand Canyon at Whitmore Wash this tidbit of info is for you.

You will helicopter from the helipad at mile 187 on the Colorado River up to the rim on the north side of Grand Canyon. There you will have time to purchase a T-shirt or hat, grab some lunch or snacks and, most importantly, take your first shower of the week!

The key info here is to be prepared for this wonderful experience by packing a clean pair of clothes into a ziploc bag prior to heading downriver. That way, once you have finished your whitewater vacation and have been cleaned up, you have a fresh outfit to wear for the flight back to Las Vegas and your journey home. Otherwise, you’ll be digging through your bag to find the cleanest of the dirty clothes to put back on and you don’t want that!

The Bar 10 Ranch offers the showers for free, but you will need to have your own soap, shampoo, towel, etc. (as you should anyway from the raft trip).
