We took a 6 day 5 night 188 mile river raft trip through the Grand Canyon from a
company called Arizona River Runners
Click Here to go to their web site. There were 2 rafts, 5 crew, and
28 passengers. We stayed in the Marble Canyon Lodge in Arizona the night before.
We started off at Lee's Ferry not far from the Glen Canyon Dam where
the water is about 48 degrees and warms about 1 degree every 20 miles. We went
through many rapids, took hikes, ate great food, and camped on the beach. The
stars and moon really came out at night. We saw desert big horn sheep, scorpions,
rattle snakes, ring tail cats, great blue herons, and a turkey among other wildlife
