Hey my name is Dean and I do marketing for Grand Canyon Whitewater. After my first river trip I was in awe of this amazing place called the Grand Canyon. Give me a call if you have any questions about your trip!
The Marble Canyon Chevron is a great place to purchase alcohol and any last-minute items. If you did happen to forget sunscreen, SPF chapstick, a hat, neoprene booties, or gloves, they have a limited selection of those sorts of items as well. You can also purchase alcohol before heading to Lees … Read More
We recently got a great question from a guest about how the whole seating thing works on our motor boats. Make sure to check out the gallery below that shows a few different photos of people sitting on the boats (exciting stuff, I know). But looking at the photos you can glean a few pieces of … Read More
My mother-in-law has a magnet on her fridge that says "Let go or be dragged." After going on my first river trip, I realized there couldn't be a better mantra to have while on the river. You will probably go through the same feeling of excitement, anticipation, nervousness and questioning that I … Read More
I think the one thing we can agree on is that getting a good night's sleep on your Grand Canyon river trip is key. But have no fear - we've got your back! Literally! If you're on one of our river trips** you'll be issued a cot to sleep on. The CampTime Roll-A-Cots are 79" long, 32" wide, and sit … Read More
If I can get personal here ... My very first Grand Canyon raft trip was a Hiker's Special 7 Day Motor w/ Hike In. I had just started with GCW, had never been rafting before and was super nervous! I trained to get ready for the 8-mile hike into the Canyon, listening to "The Emerald Mile" by Kevin … Read More
Whether you are an amateur or avid fisherman, casting a line out into the mighty Colorado is quite an enjoyable activity on a river trip. You’ll mainly be fishing for rainbow and some brown trout, but the canyon is also home to catfish, walleye, bass, and carp. It's required to have a fishing … Read More
We’ve always enjoyed giving a small gift to passengers before their trip starts — historically, it’s been a mug or a cup of some sort. Back in the day, you’d be lucky to get a plastic cup with the company’s sticker on it. We've evolved from that to a new eco-friendly option. We at Grand Canyon … Read More
We get a lot of calls here in the office, a lot. And when I say that we've heard it all, I really mean we've heard it all. From "Can I bring a drone?" (no) to "Why do the rocks end at the river?" (not answering that one). Here are my top 10 questions from river trip passengers: 1) Will I … Read More
YES! You want to talk about reconnecting with your kids? This is it. A few hours into the trip, they'll realize that their cell phones don't work and turn their focus to the amazing environment they are in. We get questions about kids being bored and I will say that the daily routine is … Read More
You might have one of two two ideas in your head about the color of the Colorado River. You could picture a bright emerald green river (and you wouldn't be wrong) or you might picture a brown "chocolate milk" color (and you wouldn't be wrong either). The truth is, the Rio Colorado (Red River) was … Read More
