  • Through the Grand Canyon: A Whitewater Adventure is our private whitewater raft trip from January - February 2024. The trip was filled with big rapids and epic views of the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed all of the big rapids: House Rock, Hance, Horn Creek, Granite, Hermit, Crystal, Bedrock, Deubendorf, Upset, and Lava Falls Rapids. We also made enjoyed many amazing hikes at Nankoweap Granaries, Havasu Canyon, Thunder River and Thunder Spring, Blacktail Canyon, Elves Chasm, Redwall Cavern, Deer Creek, and Pumpkin Spring.

    I enjoyed the newbie perspective and appreciated your emphasis on significance of the Grand Canyon for native Americans.

    "The river teaches you as you go." It really does- did my 4th trip June 2023. Thanks for a great video!

    Although I not a whitewater rafter…I can say this…at 18 my parents decided on this big vaca for the family ending in Vegas….this was 30 years ago too…I can say that my 18 year old mind can never forget how little we are in this world….the Grand Canyon is just a few places that can make you feel this way!! Great video!!! Makes me want to go again!!!

    Thank you for letting us having part in your adventure and gratulations not only for braving all the rapids but editing this video. I only wish I would have been the 1 Austrian invited 😉Did some great rafting myself there when I was your age 😊but of course that all pales compared to the Colorado.

    I LOVED this Mike!!! So great to see people I know (Steve, Mar, Don and you)(and whose' that ZZ Top guy! LOL!) on this gorgeous River! I need to get back on the Genesee with Don and get more "seat time"!! Maybe I will run this with the Prijon Yukon Expedition one day??? 🙂 I was sitting on the edge of my seat!!

    I'm in St George. It's amazing to me that the Colorado River can be so full, when Lake Powell and Lake Mead are both experiencing severe droughts.

    • @OutsideChronicles
      @OutsideChronicles  6 місяців тому

      It is kind of wild they actually have a “tide” chart for how the water is released.

    • @ianmarynowski3308
      @ianmarynowski3308 6 місяців тому

      It's amazing to me that we are still dependent on failing reservoirs. Maybe less lawns, golf courses and palm trees in St George? I think Washington county has the highest per capita water use in the United States - even while experiencing severe drought.

    • @kirkstitt5184
      @kirkstitt5184 Місяць тому

      The water released from the dam relates to the amount of hydro electricity needs to be generated. No way is it full.

    By taking out at Diamond Creek (mile 225), you missed the last 54 miles of the canyon (total 279 miles), and those last 54 miles are among the most scenic.

  • @Deborah-ri8fk
    @Deborah-ri8fk 10 місяців тому

    Wow! Thank you Mike for sharing this with all your OC hikers, and everyone else. I wondered as I watched the video if the muscles in your arms and core 'screamed' at you, "we can't do this, we can't...YES, YES we can!", and then while you tried to sleep, they whispered, with a raspy evil laugh, "You think you're going to sleep tonight? Bruh-ha-ha, think again." All the best to you and your whole family.
    P.S. May I borrow that cute red and white polka dot ensemble for a Halloween hike?

    • @OutsideChronicles
      @OutsideChronicles  5 місяців тому +1

      I rented a mounting stick from Ceiba. It used worm gear clamps to mount to the frame of the raft. Check out: www.ceibaadventures.com/parts-pieces-rentals?pgid=kex6unw01-6dc3edc5-08ed-4c9f-a924-2947c00c647e

      Each raft has a large Canyon cooler. We only open the cooler for a particular day. We ate like kings and queens.
