Overview
Before you begin your three day rafting tour in the Grand Canyon, enjoy an overnight stay at Bar 10 Ranch on the rim of Grand Canyon complete with horseback riding, meals, and cowboy entertainment. After your ranch stay, you'll experience a spectacular helicopter ride down to the Colorado River. On this section of the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River's famous whitewater, though still exciting, is a bit tamer and the scenery is astounding. Massive sandstone cliffs tower in every direction. Hidden waterfalls and pools carve their way down to the river. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of elusive Blue Heron, soaring hawks, and majestic Big Horn sheep. At night, the walls unveil a heaven of innumerable stars overlooking the Grand Canyon. To top it all off, Western's 4-day Grand Canyon rafting tours feature easy access from Las Vegas, Nevada. Join Western River Expeditions on an incredible and unforgettable Grand Canyon rafting tour.
Day 1Las Vegas to Bar 10 RanchMeet in Las Vegas at 10:15 AM in the lobby of The Las Vegas Marriott, 325 Convention Center Drive. A motor coach will take you to the Boulder Terminal. Begin your Grand Canyon tour with a beautiful flight to the Bar 10 Ranch. Before you start your three-day Grand Canyon river rafting tour, you'll enjoy an overnight stay at the Bar 10 Ranch, a working cattle ranch perched high on a plateau above the Colorado River. Your transition from civilization to wilderness includes horseback trail rides, horseshoes, ping pong, skeet shooting, dinner and evening entertainment before settling into bed in the lodge, outdoors in a covered wagon, or outside on a spacious deck.
Day 2Grand CanyonAfter a big country breakfast, a helicopter takes you deep into Grand Canyon where your rafts and guides await. After orientation and introductions, you'll be on your way downriver surrounded by soul-stirring scenery. Breathtaking canyon walls shoot skyward in a dramatic display of geologic history as you experience your first taste of Grand Canyon river rafting. Hold on for Kolb and Mile 209 Rapids!
Day 3Grand CanyonOur J-Rig rafts enter awesome Lower Granite Gorge with a series of moderate rapids including Granite Spring, Diamond Creek and Travertine. We take some time to hike, explore and play at Travertine Grotto, a fantastic series of hidden waterfalls and pools. Run the biggest rapids of your Grand Canyon river rafting trip, the "230's." After your day of adventure, you'll savor Western's delicious dinners at the river's edge and appreciate the unforgettable experience of sleeping under the stars.
Day 4Grand Canyon to Las VegasAs you near Lake Mead, the river calms and the canyon widens. Savor your final morning in Grand Canyon as you head down river and across Lake Mead to where a shuttle will return you to Las Vegas. You will travel by way of the recently completed Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge with views of the Hoover Dam.
