No cell phones ringing. No computers beeping email notifications. No television blaring. No distractions. Grand Canyon raft trips are wonderful for tired ears.

On a Grand Canyon raft trip the sounds we say YES to are flowing water, Canyon Wren’s singing, laughter, rapids roaring and strumming guitars. To me, those are much better sounds.

On the river, wake up in the morning to the sound of the boatmen singing, “COOOOOFFFFEEEEEE!” What could be sweeter? Get up and grab a delicious cup or lay in bed and just listen and be still until the smell of bacon lures you into the camp kitchen. As you eat, listen to the water flowing past, so perfect and in time with the world. At lunchtime, sit and enjoy the expertly-prepared Deli sandwich as you listen to the rapid roar around the corner in giddy anticipation.

On a Colorado River trip, notice how quiet it is in the still sections. As you meander up a beautiful side stream to a hidden waterfall, relish in the sound of the water falling into the crystal clear pool below. As you make camp on another beautiful sandy beach, listen to your fellow rafters’ favorite stories of the day’s adventures rafting the Grand Canyon. Repeat.
