Glen Canyon Dam controls water flows in the Grand Canyon, therefore the water flows and rapids are fairly consistent April through September. The Salmon River and the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon are free flowing rivers; therefore, the water is higher in the spring and gradually drops throughout the summer. As for temperatures: Spring and Fall daytime temperatures in Grand Canyon are between 70 and 85 degrees, with nighttime temperatures about 15 degrees cooler. In the Summer temperatures are usually between 85 and 105 degrees, and nighttime temperatures are 10 to 20 degrees lower. Cataract Canyon temperatures average 5 to 10 degrees cooler than the Grand Canyon. The temperatures in June on the Salmon River average between 70 and 80 degrees, with nighttime temperatures between 45 and 55 degrees. In July and August the temperatures average between 75 and 90 degrees, with nighttime temperatures between 55 and 65 degrees.

We encourage you to bring your cameras with you on your trip of a lifetime! Please keep in mind there is a lot of water and sand and you will need to properly protect your camera. If you bring a phone as your camera we recommend a waterproof case similar to these at Seawag. If you bring a DSLR we recommend you bring them in a pelican case with a few carabiners to secure it to the raft. Also plan on bringing a portable power bank and a charger as we do not have a way to recharge your cameras. You are welcome to bring a Go Pro Camera. Please make sure you bring a strap for it! Drones are not allowed in the National Parks.

We provided water and lemonade during the day. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are provided during the morning and evening hours. You may bring beer, liquor and soft drinks (in reasonable amounts, 2 cans per day). You may purchase these items either the night before the trip, or on your way to the put-in.

We never know for sure when it will rain, so even if you are taking a summer trip it is recommended that you bring a two-piece rain suit.

Yes, the upper stretch of the Colorado River from Lees Ferry to around the Little Colorado is excellent trout fishing. On Cataract Canyon you can catch catfish and carp. On the Salmon River you may occasionally catch trout, but you will mostly catch whitefish and carp. You are responsible to obtain a fishing license before you depart on the trip. Call us for details.

The water in the Grand Canyon comes out of Glen Canyon Dam cold year round, about 46 degrees so swimming is not recommended in the main channel. On Cataract Canyon and the Salmon River the water is cool during runoff, but in July it has warmed up to between 65 and 75 degrees. We also take inflatable kayaks on our trips through Cataract Canyon and the Salmon.

Motor boats are larger and more stable, and move faster than oar boats. Oar boats travel at river speed and are smaller in size and carry fewer people per boat allowing for a more intimate experience.

The Grand Canyon Conservation Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity established in 1988 and managed by a group of the Grand Canyon’s licensed river outfitters. Each year, roughly seventy percent of all professionally outfitted river trip passengers donate $1 per each day of their river trip to the Grand Canyon Conservation Fund.

In turn, this money is awarded in the form of grants to other non-profit conservation groups and those working to provide access to backcountry outdoor experiences for those with physical and socioeconomic challenges. The Grand Canyon Conservation Fund does not award grants to individuals or for-profit corporations.

The Grand Canyon Conservation Fund is managed wholly by volunteers. Administrative costs are less than two-tenths of one percent per year. That means over 99.8% of all donations go directly to protecting and conserving the Grand Canyon and providing access to those who would not otherwise have the opportunity to share in the Grand Canyon river experience.

All donations made to the Grand Canyon Conservation Fund are fully tax deductible as charitable giving. Internal Revenue Service documents granting the Grand Canyon Conservation Fund its tax exempt status as a non-profit public charity are available for public inspection at 119 E. Terrace Avenue, Suite A, Flagstaff, Arizona, during normal business hours.
