Or maybe you’ve just recently decided to make the most of life, escape the grind and do something truly remarkable. When you take that leap, you won’t be alone. You’ll be with a group of people with whom you have at least one thing in common – the desire to experience the Grand Canyon from the most exciting and unique perspective there is – the River’s view.
You may wonder who you’ll meet on the river, and the professionals at Grand Canyon Whitewater will tell you that they have seen many friendships form as river guests conquer the rapids together and relax in the good-natured atmosphere of camp at the end of the day. You begin with a group of people you’ve never met who share just that one thing in common, and leave as fast friends. Start with a common spirit of adventure and many times you will find that you have much more in common with those other “grab life by the horns” types than you would have ever envisioned. Grand Canyon Whitewater guides have seen people connect with their future spouses, folks who stay connected for decades after taking a trip together, and those Grand Canyon whitewater rafting addicts who return again and again because they love the trips so much.
