We feel it is important to educate our guests on the regulations within Grand Canyon. Drones are prohibited within the Park boundaries. All Grand Canyon Whitewater river trips are 100% in Grand Canyon National Park and therefore, regardless of whether or not you are a licensed operator, all drone … Read More
While everyone on the GCW team -- from our office staff to our warehouse crew to your river guides -- does their absolute best to ensure your trip of a lifetime goes off without a hitch (and we think we're pretty dang dialed in, for the most part!), there are some things that are just beyond our … Read More
We often get this question: if you have to hike into the Grand Canyon to start your river trip, do you have to hike out? The answer is NO, and vice versa -- if you hike out of the Canyon, you don’t start with a hike in. Our partial canyon trips only have a mandatory hike one-way, either in or out … 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. We are both over 70 … Read More
One night on my last river trip, I was c-r-a-n-k-y (which I also sometimes spell p-i-s-s-e-d). Why? It was windy. Really windy. I had just washed my hair--because we had just seen our first glimpse of the sun on a cold and rainy day--and I had just changed into my nice, comfy camp skirt. I was ready … Read More
Not if you're me, and not if you're our average adult guest! Many folks who are considering our Hike In or Hike Out trips make this erroneous assumption. It's true that young folks often have an easier time hiking down than up but, if you've ever had joint pain -- or if your muscles just aren't … Read More
We are super excited to have Mikah Meyer - Travel Beyond Convention and his partner join us for a Grand Canyon Whitewater 8-day motorized rafting trip in late May 2017! Mikah hopes to "create a new type of LGBT role model" on his journey to be the youngest person to see all 417 national parks and … Read More
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. Some people might not give Deer Creek enough credit because getting to the waterfall is actually pretty easy; it is … Read More
