Rafting through the Grand Canyon for 8 days is the best vacation ever!


I've done it twice. Hikes on tiny ledges to waterfalls, seeing canyon walls briefly bloom with life after night-time showers, watching thunderstorms above you evaporate before hitting the ground, geology lessons and the Great Conundrum, star and satellite gazing, up close and personal time with ravens who unzipped our backpacks and stole things (they actually gave back one woman's eyeglasses), rattle snakes, about a billion mice at 3 AM being chased by ring-tailed cats, scary story night while camping under a haunted cave, etc. On the first trip, we had two paraplegic men strapped in the raft. If they can do it, you can do it.
