Grand Canyon Rafting - Whitmore Wash to Lake Mead
Overview
This shorter section of the river is a good trial for folks not sure they are ready for a longer trip. We meet you in Las Vegas and transport you by van and small plane to Bar 10 Ranch for an afternoon of ranch activities including horseback riding, horseshoe pitching, hiking and skeet shooting finished with an evening of country entertainment. The next morning you fly by helicopter into the canyon where your guides await your arrival at Whitmore Wash. We'll cross the shattered Hurricane fault zone before heading west into the final majesty of the Lower Grand Canyon. The trip affords an opportunity to hike and explore this exquisite desert wonderland. Several beautiful side canyons invite you to linger in spring-fed streams. Your trip ends with a jet boat ride across Lake Mead from where we return to Las Vegas by van.
