Grand Canyon River Hike

The coolest thing to do in Summer! A river hike is a combination of normal hiking and hiking along the course of rivers. It often involves walking in the water and on rocks, low-level rock climbing, crossing rivers, and swimming.

River hikes are fun but require average to high fitness level, good balance and swimming skills, Climbing skills are not necessary. They are not recommended for people afraid of heights or water, nor for children under the age of 15.
