Not all families are content to shake hands with an oversized mouse or waste a vacation stuck inside a crowded museum. If your family is on the adventurous side, rafting is one way to experience the majesty of nature in the most active way possible. When it comes to rafting, though, not all trips are alike.

Colorado River Rafting

Rafting through the Glen Canyon Dam is ideal for singles, couples and families alike. With a variety of rafting tours, from half day trips to package trips in which the family can also take a helicopter ride or a kayak tour, there’s an option both for the beginner family and the family that’s old hat with this sort of adventure. Since there’s an island where you can view the Puebloans’ ancient petroglyphs on the tour, there’s real educational value, too. All tours include a guide, so you won’t have to worry about getting lost or doing all the paddling.

Call a tour organizer and ask about booking a tour today. If some members of your family aren’t up for the small craft rafting or don’t have the physical prowess, inquire about the full-day motorized boat tour that lets you see the same sights in a larger group.
