You’re right in that you are proposing to cover a lot, but I think you’ve paced it well and allowed for a little “chill time” between activities. So sorry that your vacation got delayed 2 years (ouch!) because of COVID. Bring your family and enjoy an incredible day on the the Colorado River! The Half Day Float through Glen Canyon to the Grand Canyon is not a rafting trip you will forget. If you choose, you may also refresh yourself by wading in the cold, clear river. You will learn more about the river’s modern role in the Southwest’s water and power delivery system.Ī stop to view an impressive set of ancient petroglyphs will offer a you chance to stretch your legs and enjoy your lunch while bearing witness to the area’s former inhabitancy by ancient native cultures. Your experienced guide will tell the story of the area’s soaring sandstone cliffs, crystal blue-green waters, abundant wildlife, exploration by Major John Wesley Powell and others. For the next 3 hours, you will experience one of the most placid, yet dramatic stretches of river in the western United States. At river level, Glen Canyon Dam soars 700 feet above you, where you will board a comfortable pontoon raft for your journey downstream.
Departing from the scenic town of Page, Arizona, your trip will begin with an exciting and exclusive ride down the two-mile long Glen Canyon Dam access tunnel.
