Grand Canyon

I recently went on a week long rafting trip with my family and 25 friends on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.  it was awesome.

Spectacular, Mark.

I would love to do that!

Did you do any fishing?

We did not but we saw some hump back chub - one of the boatmen was a biologist and works on the various fish research programs so we learned lots.  Apparently the fishing is world class stuff.  It was a really enjoyable trip that combined white knuckle (literally) excitement with fascinating hiking and lots of incredible scenery.  We slept under the stars every night - no mosquitoes!!  The night sky was incredible.  We went with an outfit called Hatch River Expeditions and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Great pictures. I have fond but scary memories of riding a mule down into the canyon many years ago. I think the canyon ought to be on everyone's bucket lists.

Great pics.

WOW! What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pic's. These kind of adventures will always be unforgettable. Awesome move!



Happy Shaving!

very nice. I've been to the grand canyon 2X now but have never been down to the bottom.

Having spent a week at the bottom I can say its really, really cool. We had several geologists and some engineers on the trip so we got lots of technical information on all the beautiful rocks. Looking at the canyon walls brightly illuminated by the moon as I drifted off to sleep was special as was waking up several hours later after the moon had set and being presented with such an incredible star display complete with Milky Way (and yes lots of fluttering bats). We never used tents so it was incredible scenery 24 hours a day. Minus the sleeping hours.
