    One of our experienced oarsmen had to cancel for a GC trip, April 7-27, Lee’s Ferry to Pearce Ferry—need a qualified replacement asap (might be the experienced oarsman/woman and their +1). Great time of year to go! If interested, reach out to our permit holder, Anton, via phone/text (512)...

    Yay, I won the lottery, have an 8 person 22-23 day trip, launching in February. 4 oarsmen, 4 kayakers. Cold time of year so, ice will last longer due to the temps, will actually be able to chill drinks in dunk bags. Just trying to get opinions on how many 18’ rafts we’ll actually need. I have...

    Hi there, Heading on a Grand Canyon trip in mid-November. I've been on many week long rivers but always summer conditions and generally a little warmer water. Picked up a used drysuit upon trip captain advice, but can't imagine wearing that comfortably every day! What combos do people think...

    Howdy! We won the lottery for a January 2023 Grand Canyon rafting trip. We have a 6.5 year old who needs a dry suit but youth sized whitewater gear is hard to come by. We can't seem to find anything smaller than a Koketat youth medium semi-dry, which was a bit large on my little dude. If anyone...

    What are some items and necessities that you would recommend I take down the canyon for an October 19th launch? I am an experienced rower/rafter but have never done the canyon or overnight trips longer than 7 nights. I don't drink so I don't need to worry about alcohol. I've got my other bases...

    I've got a permit for Aug 30 with almost no spots filled. It's the standard group size for 16 days. I've been procrastinating organizing and now the draft participant list is due June 2nd. Turns out I don't know enough river people, and the ones I do know can't come. Ideally I can find some new...
