An easy drive from Phoenix will take you to Arizona's other Grand Canyon for a fun-filled day of whitewater rafting. You’ll spend the day on the river, enjoying rapids and canyon scenery, and while others drive back to the city you’ll set up camp next to the water. Guides will prepare dinner as the light fades, leaving time to relax beside the river.

The camp lies less than 3 miles from the highway and is accessible by any vehicle, so you can bring what you like for a more comfortable night outdoors. As evening settles, you’ll sit by the fire and watch the stars overhead while the guides finish dinner. The experience combines a lively day on the river with a peaceful riverside night, all within easy reach of Phoenix and the dramatic landscapes of Arizona’s other Grand Canyon.
