There are not many places on Earth that more beautiful than the Grand Canyon; there is nowhere quite like it either. The canyon is over 277 miles long and up to 18 miles wide in some spots. With over 70 species of mammals, 250 species of birds, 25 types of reptiles and five species of amphibians, you will have a lot of wildlife to look for. It also comprises six of the seven climatic belts recognized throughout the world, so take clothing for all seasons.
Possibly the greatest way to enjoy the Grand Canyon is to go rafting on the Colorado River. There are many tourist companies that have variations on this theme, but we will highlight Footloose Tours for this article. They offer an impressive 8 day rafting trip that takes you into the very heart of the canyon. You depart from Las Vegas and stay in the canyon itself. Footloose supplies everything you will need accept for clothing. Some of the things they supply are all the camping equipment, waterproof river bags, and waterproof camera boxes, and these are included in the cost of your trip.
Motorized river craft are used due to the fact that they are roomier than traditional rafts and they can move more quickly through the river, as well as increase the maneuverability so that the trip flows on schedule.
You will wake up every morning to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and breakfast being made. After eating and packing up you will head out onto the river for a few hours of rafting. You will also stop periodically throughout the day to walk on the bottom of the canyon and explore nature at it's most untouched best. There is hiking readily available and the sights to be seen are many. This is one trip that you will never forget.
