UY&W Adventure retreats | Grand canyon River Trip, 2025

---

The grandfather of all river trips & major bucket list, the Grand Canyon is known as the biggest whitewater in North America & most beautiful scenery.  We implement the calming techniques learned at camp on the rivers' churning rapids. With awe inspiring scenery, unplugged & smiles all day, it's wellness at it's best.

Experience the Grand Canyon in style. Western's J Rig Rafts are the Cadillac of the canyon. Equipped with high power, quiet motors & seating for every type of adventurer, 

the J Rig caters to both conservative scenic riders & mechanical bull enthusiasts alike.  

(2 boats each accommodate 18 guests/2 guides.)

Stretch your raft legs with beautiful hikes to pictographs/petroglyphs, breathtaking waterfalls, infamous Nankoweap (shown) 

Little Colorado, Havasu & more.

Wet or dry, there's plenty of canyon activity to work up an appetite for the delicious dinners.

Not everyone gets to experience the Canyon from the bottom. It simply can't be described in pictures, as it truly is an experience of a lifetime. You'll have a hard time putting your camera down as you play & jump from waterfalls, sit back in awe of the carved history, enjoying  nature at it's finest.

Experience the infamous Havasu Canyon from the bottom where it meets the river, swim the turquoise waters of the Little Colorado (LCR) and explore more side canyons than you'd ever expect were there. It's truly the greatest adult playground in the world.

*OPTIONAL*

Relaxing chair stretch is offered at camp after enjoying hikes & sitting on the raft, along with sunrise/sunset meditations w/ Elise, while the guides prepare hearty delicious meals.  

We respect & value your free time, but there's no better place for practicing mindfulness; 

not detracting FROM but in addition TO your experience within the beautiful canyon.

-And if you know us, WE HAVE FUN!
