Our shortest trip is our 3-day Grand Canyon Ranch and Raft Adventure trip which is all inclusive from Las Vegas. It takes a minimum of 8 days to raft the entire Grand Canyon. Our river tours on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon range from 3-14 days in length. CRATE offers motorized, rowing, paddle, and kayak support rafting tours. Some of our rafting trips have an option to start or end at Phantom Ranch via hiking in/out of the Grand Canyon. We also offer trips that start/leave the Grand Canyon at Whitmore Wash via Helicopter. We offer trips through the entire Grand Canyon from Lees Ferry to Pearce Ferry. Side canyon hiking and off-river exploration will take you to places of wonder, where you can frolic in waterfalls, swim in turquoise pools, stand amazed upon scenic overlooks, or relish the cooling shade of slot canyons and hidden grottoes.
The rapids are legendary, ranging from playful riffles to white knuckle thrills. For nearly 300 miles the river flows freely through a mile-deep gorge of ever-changing views and vistas, revealing the history of the earth in its multicolored layers of rock. The Black Hole of White Canyon is one of the most thrilling hikes in the world, with its 200-meter stretch of dark cold water and its sinuous, gorgeous slot. Rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon is the best-known rafting expedition in the world. Cheesebox, Fry, the aforementioned Gravel, and Long canyons are Terra Incognita, just waiting for some intrepid explorer to uncover their mysteries.
