Nankoweap RM 53 - Grand Canyon AZRA raft trip

The rapids are exciting, but most of a non-motorized trip down the Colorado River is rowing and floating on the River.

 

This is the view at Nankoweap. Most photos are from higher up the mountain on the trail to the Granaries. I liked this view from closer to the River just above the vegetation. You can see our rafts pulled in on River right.

 

I went on a non-motorized Raft trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon with Arizona Raft Adventures from May 16 through May 31. Four Oar rafts, a Dory, and a paddle raft.

AZRA has perfected Colorado River / Grand Canyon rafting. The guides were great, the food was great. Other than the weather, the experience was great.

 

I went with the idea that this was not a photo adventure. I was going to enjoy the experience and the ride. So I don't have photos of our put in at Lee's Ferry. But you know that you can't get that photo bug out of your system. I did not take my good cameras. This is a nice little Olympus TG-5. Everything takes a beating on a trip like this. It came out a little worse for wear but held up like a champion. On a trip like this you get sand in places you never knew you had places.
