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
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

To do a private trip you need to apply though the National Park in their weighted lottery system. Getting … Read More
Starting in late June we start to see these magical things called monsoons in the Grand Canyon. Something as large as the Grand Canyon can actually influence the weather; changes in elevation, terrain, and deep canyons can make the weather change on a dime down there. As the summer progresses … Read More
If you've talked with me on the phone before and asked anything about clothes on the river, I've probably given you my sermon on camp clothes vs. river clothes. It goes a little something like this: (!) River Clothes: I always wear the same thing every day on the boats. Usually, that is a long … Read More
GCW guest Joe Bonds recently got off of a river trip and wanted to send in this review: I would like to share Tanya and my experiences and impressions of our recent 8 Day Motor rafting trip down 225 miles of the Grand Canyon with Grand Canyon Whitewater (GCW) rafting company.

I've always thought Deer Creek Falls is one of the most amazing things in Grand Canyon. If you're on one of our lower Canyon (hike in) or full Canyon trips you might stop there.
