WHY NOW Travel outside peak season to stand more chance of securing a trip WHERE Colorado River, Arizona DATES Mid-September If standing on South Rim peering down at the Colorado River has you twitching for a more intimate canyon experience, join the 22,000-plus people who raft it in inflatable boats each year.
A run-down Colorado is an epic adventure. ‘Normal’ rapids are rated I to V, but the 160-plus rapids on Colorado are rated one to 10, with many V or higher. There’s a lottery system for permits for independent rafting. Commercial trips also fill up well in advance and take three forms: oar, paddle or motorized; paddle trips are the most adventurous. Note, motorboats can’t run after 15 September, so the river gets quieter from then. That would be great fun and a lifetime experience to raft at Grand Canyon. We're sure you would love it.
