Rafting the Grand Canyon
You’ve thought about it for years and why not? The Colorado River trip through the Grand Canyon is the best-known rafting expedition in the world. For nearly 300 miles, the river flows freely through a mile-deep gorge of ever-changing views, revealing the history of the earth in its multi-colored layers of rock. The rapids are legendary, ranging from playful "riffles" to "big and splashy" to "absolute thrilling." Side canyon hiking and off-river exploration will take you to places where you can frolic in waterfalls, swim in turquoise pools, stand amazed upon scenic overlooks, or relish the cooling shade of hidden grottos. Maybe finally this is your year.
Wagons Ho!
A covered wagon train trek can make history come alive. Wagons West takes replicas of pioneer covered wagon trains, adds rubber wheels and foam cushioned seats (that convert to bunks at night) for a little more comfort than our ancestors could count onand ventures out into the stunning Tetons for a unique vacation complete with evening wagon circle and campfire, singing cowboys, and plenty of trail rides for those who wish to get in some horseback riding.
