Just back from rafting the Colorado river for 8 days. We went with Grand Canyon Expeditions, I would recommend them. It was a magical trip, I expected 105 degrees and some clean water, what we got was monsoon season and rain on four days. This brought coolness, very high water and brown water all the time, except under waterfalls in side canyons. There were three groups of really nice people on our two boats but DW & I felt a little outside of the groups. We are now more tuned into traveling with family & friends.
I am glad we did this now, it was a bit more challenging than I thought. Setting up camp each day, loading/unloading the boats and longer side trail hikes were more energetic that we expected. I am 60 & DW Is 62 so we are looking at what trips we want to do now, while we have energy. We can do the pasta tour of Italy or the pub tour of the UK later in life.
