Whitewater rafting in Grand Canyon


Whitewater rafting in Grand Canyon

Whitewater rafting expeditions depart daily during the summer months from Lee's Ferry. Commercial trips range from 3-18 days and cover from 87-300 mi. Trips book up fast so be sure to book your trip about a year in advance or you will have to get lucky with cancellations. The most popular section of river for the "true" Grand Canyon river experience lies between Lee's Ferry and Diamond Creek. Private (non-commercial DIY) river permits are also available for river trips up to 30 days in length. The new Colorado River Management Plan has changed a 12-20 year wait list to a new weighted lottery.
