We saw rain swollen, brown creeks and clear running streams with tall waterfalls. The views of the river and surroundings were breathtaking from the heights that were climbed. Spring was a time of desert flower blooms and healthy blooming cactus and no sign of rattlesnakes. The hikes, though strenuous, were enjoyable and worth every minute of the uphill struggle. We all looked forward to the evening stories told by Riley and the morning readings by her and Shelby. They were happy to be there on that awe-inspiring river helping the rafters to their “once in a lifetime” experience doing what they do all summer long. The entire crew worked so hard to keep rafters happy but you’d never know it to hear them talk or the looks on their faces. Shelby was amazing also, seeming to know what to do at all times without having to be asked by Cora or Riley. He had the most infectious laugh that made everyone comfortable and always brought a smile to their faces. Evan seemed to know everything already and was a capable boatman, cook, mechanic. They were boatmen, guides, cooks, mechanics and entertainment.

Hot, full breakfasts in the morning and hot gourmet dinners in the evening, with lunches made up fresh during brief lunch stops on the river.īoatmen, Cora and Riley both did masterful jobs negotiating the rivers challenges and bringing along the river education of Evan and Shelby. The history of the early Grand Canyon explorers was fascinating and exciting. Native culture was revered by all the crew and explained to everyone so that it made sense and was appreciated by all of us. Riley and Cora’s narrative of the history, both geologic and anthropologic was amazing. The river warms you up for the really big ones with a little ones to start with. The first day we were on the river we got rapids and got wet. We were all entertained and educated at the same time in preparing to board our rafts. Riley’s exuberance and enthusiasm for her role as trip leader was evident in her informative and animated talk on what her and the crew’s role was and what our role was in making it an exciting but safe trip. The orientation we were met with at Lee’s Ferry was very informative but also emphasized that we were our own keepers and it was an adventure trip not a cruise. Once we arrived at the hotel we were treated like VIPs and were picked up in a very comfortable coach for the ride to Lee’s Ferry to begin our trip. They tried to impart what rafters had to expect along the journey.

They emphasized what to bring and how to pack for a trip which most rafters had never been on similar trip before. They asked questions about health concerns and what you and they could do to alleviate those concerns. The staff sent timely email instructions for preparation along with links to very helpful and informative blogs from previous rafters. From the very beginning of interacting with office staff on arrangements and instructions to final haul out and drive back to Flagstaff, it was unparalleled. The Colorado River rafting trip (11 day hiker's Special) with Grand Canyon Whitewater was an unforgettable experience.
