TWO-DAY ADVENTURE
The Hualapai River Runners’ two-day rafting trip departs from Peach Springs, Arizona, and offers a jam-packed two-day itinerary of fun and adventure.
SATURDAY
Check-in is at the Hualapai River Runner Front Desk at 6:30 a.m. You will depart from Peach Springs for an hour-long bus drive into the Grand Canyon, arriving at the launch point on the Colorado River, where your whitewater rafting adventure begins.
You will raft to Travertine Falls, where you will enjoy a short hike to a beautiful natural waterfall, ideal for photographs. Continue rafting to Spencer Canyon, where you will camp for the night. Spencer Canyon is where the Hualapai story begins and where you’ll enjoy a dinner of steak, salad, corn on the cob, baked beans and assorted non-alcoholic beverages.
SUNDAY
Start the day with a hot breakfast and an optional short hike before loading the boats and packing the gear for the second day of the trip. From this point, you will board powered rafts and head down the river.
