While we are not campers or hikers, this Grand Canyon Rafting Trip with Western River Expeditions was our best vacation trip ever. From the initial contact to plan the trip through all the preparation and the acutal experience, Western River was there with all the answers. This was a complete package; all the details were considered and the entire trip... More

My wife and I have returned from a 6 day float through this incredible canyon system with Western River Expeditions. Our guides, Wiley, Cory, Martin, and Kelly, were fantastic! This was a trip of a lifetime for us and these guides took care of our every need. We felt safe and very well informed as our every question about the... More

My family and I had visited the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and were as awed as everyone else is I'm sure my the sheer grandeur that cannot be captured in any photograph or even by the recent Google video foray. However looking at the vista as magnificent as it is, just didn't seem like quite enough. So we... More

When my daughter and I signed up for a seven day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon with Western River Expeditions we really weren't sure what to expect. This ended up being one of the funnest adventures we have ever experienced together! We went in the middle of April and one of our biggest fear was that we would freeze.... More

My husband and I traveled with our two best friends on the seven day Grand Canyon trip starting from Lees Ferry in mid-April. Evan and Joe were our expedition leaders and they were great! Morning temps were a bit cool at first, so rainwear on the boat was a must and at night we wore fleece shirts. By the third... More

You know a river trip is great when all the guests want MORE! This after six nights and seven days together. Now back in "reality" it hurts to look at the photos. Beauty, fun, new river friends. It was the total package. Yes, this was a bucket list trip for many of us. Some guests had never camped or done... More

My husband, two kids and I went with western expeditions down the bottom part of grand canyon. My kids are 10 and 13. They had a blast. Everything was very organized and well planned. It was cold and would recommend wet suits or neoprene gear for an April trip. Will definitely do 7 day upper canyon trip when kids are... More

I have been down the entire Grand Canyon with Western River, first for the 3-day 9 years ago, then for the 6-day 2 years ago, and I'll be returning with my husband for the 3 day again this summer. This is probably the best adventure trip I have been on. Its good for families, couples, kids of all ages, and... More
