Western River Expeditions operates Grand Canyon rafting trips ranging from 3 to 7 days on the Colorado River. The 6-7 day expedition covers nearly 200 miles from Lee's Ferry to Lava Falls, including hikes to side canyon waterfalls and world-renowned rapids, concluding with a helicopter flight out. The 3-day trip rafts 89 miles from Whitmore Wash to Lake Mead with helicopter access from Las Vegas and a jetboat takeout. The 4-day Ranch & River option combines an overnight stay at Bar Ten Ranch on the North Rim—featuring skeet shooting, horseback riding, and western entertainment—with a 3-day raft through the lower canyon. All trips use the company's patented J-Rig rafts and include camping, meals, and guide services. Western River has operated since 1961 and offers trips across Utah, Idaho, and Oregon rivers as well.
