For the next twelve days you will run exciting rapids like Houserock, Hance, Sockdolager, Hermit, Granite Falls, Crystal, and Lava Falls. The oar powered trip provides more time for exploration. You will see beautiful side canyons and swimming holes including Little Colorado, Elves Chasm, Deer Creek and Havasu Creek.. Each morning you will be greeted by the beautiful song of the Canyon Wren and the smell of hot coffee brewing in the kitchen. Your guide will prepare you a hot breakfast every morning which includes fresh fruit and fruit juice. For lunch you will have sandwiches with all the trimmings.
