Spend a day leisurely floating down the calm waters of the Colorado River, admiring ancient petroglyphs and stunning canyon landscapes along the way. From your Grand Canyon National Park hotel, upriver and enjoy a casual raft trip with a tasty lunch, ending at historic Lee's Ferry.

Grab your camera and enjoy convenient pickup from your hotel, making your way north in a comfortable coach. Skirt the eastern side of the Grand Canyon as you head towards Page, Arizona, where you can meet up with your raft guide on the banks of the Colorado River.

Get a brief orientation on rafting safety and then climb aboard the spacious vessel. With a motor to propel you through the river's laziest bends, there's no need to worry about paddling or dodging tricky rapids. Push off from the bank and cruise the water, snapping photos of dramatic rock formations in Glen Canyon as you float. Head around Horseshoe Bend, a dramatic horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the river.

Tuck into a tasty boxed lunch along the way and make a special stop to check out petroglyphs that date back hundreds of years. Reach Lee's Ferry and bring your raft up on shore before meeting back up with your return ride. Before you reach your hotel, enjoy an extra visit to Cameron Trading Post where delightful souvenir shops offer an array of memorable gifts.
