“I did my best of which is to inspire and amaze, encourage those willing to exceed their expectations of themselves and be a living example– Very gratifying, justifying my life on Earth” –Rona, Age 80

When was the last time that you were pushed to do something challenging? Maybe something a bit out of your comfort zone….but you pushed through, got it done, and were rewarded with a feeling of accomplishment. It’s a great feeling. One that you have to work for.

Going on a raft trip in the Grand Canyon is challenging for many. Some people wonder, “Am I too old?”  “Am I too out of shape?”  “Do I need to have keen outdoors skills?”  “Do I have to be a really good swimmer?” Grand Canyon Whitewater wants to offer you opportunities to take the challenge and feel the rewards of pushing your boundaries a bit.

Rafting on the Colorado River within the Grand Canyon is a wilderness experience where you can take the challenge and yet GCW is with you to help every step of the way. There’s not much glory in sitting on the couch watching a movie, but in the Grand Canyon, you can hike, climb, swagger, and clamber in ways you never anticipated you could.

GCW crew members, friends, and fellow rafters will be there to encourage and support your efforts. Your kids will come alongside you. Sometimes the challenge may be a game in camp. One day it may be an uphill ascent to a waterfall. Or maybe a jump into a clear pool below.

GCW wants you to have all kinds of chances to engage in the great outdoors and walk away a better person. Feel the achievement and enjoy your success. So, take the Grand Canyon Challenge. You’ll be glad you did.
