3 Best Grand Canyon Rafting

Live a life full of adventures and laugh your heart out loud while Grand Canyon rafting; discover the world’s best place if that is all you dream of, then add a Grand Canyon rafting to your list.

It would be best to relieve yourself from the daily stress by sharing experiences in the white water and laughing with your people.

The limestone of this Canyon is so smooth that people mistake it for marble; it is one of the most exciting destinations for those who love nature.

It has rocks that bring out colours like gray, purple, pink, white, and golden hues. You will lose yourself amid the Grand Canyon rafting of white water.  

1. Location

Grand Canyon is located in Arizona, U.S. Colorado River in northern Arizona. The Canyon was carved out, stretching from Lake Powell at the Arizona-Utah border to Lake Mead at the Arizona- Nevada border.

The Grand Canyon consists of two parts which are the North Rim and South Rim. These rims are separated by about 20 miles.

The two rims are entirely different in atmosphere, elevation, and experience to get through both edges. T-3 days hikes or a five-hour road trip is required.

2. How to Visit

There’s a small airport in flagstaff, an hour from the South Rim.

Many visitors have to land in Las Vegas or Phoenix due to the limited number of flights available, while some people visiting North Rim fly into Salt Lake City.

The visit to Grand Canyon requires renting a car due to the limited number of public transit options.

After reaching Grand Canyon Park, visitors park their cars and take a shuttle bus after parking the rented vehicle. For rim-to-rim hikers, shuttle buses are of great use.

3. Full Grand Canyon Rafting

Lee’s Ferry to Phantom Ranch is a rafting expedition journey, and this is a lifetime rejoicing moment. You go deep beneath the Grand Canyon somewhere 86 miles, and it gives goosebumps to your skin.

The thrill of river adventure will stay in your heart forever. 

This rafting makes you turn to scenic views, which will be captured in your mind forever. The waterfalls and paradisiacal side canyon can be viewed during this rafting which is impossible as these mystical waterfalls are accessible only through riverways. 

The right time for your Grand Canyon rafting expedition is the fall season.

A complete whitewater canyon rafting starts from Lees Ferry. From here, one will travel the entire length of the Grand Canyon.
