Arizona - Upper Grand Canyon 6/7 Day Rafting Trip
Many see the awesome beauty of the Grand Canyon from the rim each year, but few venture into its depths to know the canyon in a deeply personal and intimate way from the river. Any who have ventured into the depths of the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River will tell you that this trip with Western River Expeditions was a true life-changing experience never to be forgotten.
There is not another adventure on Earth to compare with a 6 or 7-Day Grand Canyon rafting vacation in the upper section of the Grand Canyon from Lee's Ferry to Whitmore Wash with Western River Expeditions.
The raw power of the rapids on the Colorado River will feed your adrenaline, stone monoliths on every side will humble you, and hidden in the canyons along the river you'll discover Maiden Hair ferns in waterfall grottoes from a fairy tale that will tease you into a trance.

Italy - Tuscany & Umbria

We traverse a romantic landscape of mountains, rolling hills and deep valleys; walking on white roads that dip between hilltop towns, or shady forest tracks.
