A few decades ago a group of us spent 2 weeks on the Grand Canyon.
We filled 4 rafts , and about 10 kayaks from the Aspen kayak school as well as a few kayaks from the national team . The rafts started over the rapids first , the Kayaks followed, providing us a show from below as they fired over the rapids dropping down the rapids to the waters below .
Thanks Paul. Only spent time on the rim and flew under the rim with Bob Fulton in his 180. Spent time in Monument Vally and Canyon de Chelly. Filmed a video later a DVD for Paramount Home video as part of a series called Portrait of..... Very special and memorable days. Dann Moss
Wonderful fotos and story, Paul! My neighbours did this trip a few times in the 80's, 4 weeks each trek. But their boats were nothing like your giant 'zodiac'-like rafts! Small wooden boats, more like the dorys people use here at the coast - braving the rocks but never losing one. Smaller group, 2-3 to a boat, 4 boats total. Read a great book aloud at night by their camp-fire - "Sunk Without a Sound." Look it up!

Some of the most memorable adventures in my life.
