What Will I See and Do?
On the day of your whitewater adventure, the excitement begins at 7:00 a.m. as you check in with the Hualapai River Runners in the lobby of the Hualapai Lodge in Peach Springs, Arizona (Grand Canyon West). From there, prepare for an exhilarating descent as you board a bus that takes you on a thrilling one-hour journey down the rugged terrain of Diamond Creek Road. As you wind your way down, you'll experience a dramatic drop in elevation, plunging over 2,000 feet into the heart of the Grand Canyon. The adventure truly begins as your motor rafts launch from Diamond Creek, right at its confluence with the mighty Colorado River. Following a brief orientation and gearing up with PFDs and dry bags, you'll embark on the river. Your first stop is Travertine Falls, where you can optionally hike up ropes and ladders to explore a cave. After departing the falls, you'll continue rafting until it's time for a beachside lunch. Post-lunch, you'll enjoy a smooth water float through the Grand Canyon, soaking in the serene landscape. Your journey concludes at Pearce Ferry, where you'll board a bus or van back to the Hualapai Lodge, arriving in the evening.
