This is the perfect Grand Canyon Adventure for those with limited time.  We also call this trip the “Grand Canyon Ranch and Raft Trip” or “Grand Canyon Multisport Trip” because it includes one night at the Bar 10 Ranch and encompasses a lot of different activities.  The adventure begins with a scenic flight from Las Vegas, Nevada, to the Bar 10 Ranch on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Your overnight stay at the Bar 10 includes horseback riding, horseshoes, hiking, skeet shooting and evening entertainment.

On the 2^nd morning, guests experience a sensational helicopter flight from the ranch down into the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where our river crew will meet everyone on the banks of the Colorado River.  Our guides will help everyone get fitted with a life jacket, hand out dry bags, and give the group an orientation about the trip before pushing the boats out into the current and starting our journey down river.

The canyon will gradually deepen as  we move further downstream.  During the trip we will have fun rafting through 50 miles of the Lower Granite Gorge. There are about 10 class III rapids on this section of river.  The whitewater is fun and exciting with big splashy waves.  In addition to the whitewater there will be some off river hikes to natural wonders and waterfalls, and an overnight campout on the banks of the river(with a brilliant night sky star show!).

On the third day you will run the last rapid and then meet our jet boat for a speedy run out of the canyon to Pearce Ferry Marina at Lake Mead National Recreation Area.  From Pearce Ferry you return to Las Vegas via motor coach or van.  We furnish all camping equipment(cots, sleeping bags and tents if needed), delicious meals, and assorted non-alcoholic beverages.

2019 will mark Colorado River & Trail Expeditions 48^th year guiding guests through Grand Canyon.  We are the smallest Grand Canyon outfitter and are a family owned company.  Our river guides are very experienced.  Many have been working on the river for over 15 years.  They are happy to share their knowledge about Grand Canyon’s geology, history, and biology.  They are incredible story tellers and genuinely love what they do.  We believe in maintaining top of the line gear, serving delicious meals, and making your trip the best.

In addition to being offered as a motorized 3-day expedition this trip is also offered as a non-motorized 4-day expedition.   The 4-day expedition uses non-motorized rafts and includes an extra day on the river.
