They started at 5.30 on a nine mile hike down to the river.
The heat was intense...to help stay cool their guide told them to get completely wet here before the end of their hike along the river to the boats.
Dad said this was one of the few places he's seen that can truly be described as awesome.
The dories they traveled in were paddled by one guide even through the rapids.
Sleeping accommodation
Day hikes to side canyons and taking every opportunity to get wet and stay cool!!
Helicopter out at the end.
They loved it and highly recommend it! We went to the Grand Canyon 35 years ago on a big family vacation out west and ever since Dad and the boys have wanted to do this, so it was a big splurge, but they all agree it was worth the wait to be able to do it. And Jordan loved it, too, though he hadn't waited nearly as long!!!
Laurie, I'm glad they're back safe and sound :)
ReplyDeleteWell done them.... Well done your Dad! What a guy! This is be an experience they'll talk about for the rest of their lives, I reckon. Everyone who goes to the Grand Canyon says it really has to be seen to be believed - as your dad said - Awesome. Say Hi to the folks. A x
