The fabled Colorado River is at once the “carver” of Grand Canyon, and the “lifeblood” of the desert Southwest.
The Colorado’s role in Grand Canyon is critical as the river and its watershed help sustain the amazing biodiversity found in the park.
Aside from its ecological significance and the access it provides to incredible geologic formations, the river’s challenging whitewater has drawn boating enthusiasts from around the world for decades. During this oar-powered float trip from Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek,
this class will explore the many facets of Grand Canyon. Geology, paleontology, archaeology, botany, and pioneer history will dominate the discussions as our stellar team of educators share their vast knowledge of the world’s most-famous chasm. The trip will begin and end in Flagstaff, Arizona.
On-river meals and camping gear are included.
