It was a beautiful day, slightly cool in the morning. The river trip is a wonderful experience. Holly was our guide, and she was perfect. We had a full raft. Holly pointed out many highlights and always took questions from the group. The trip up and down the river is amazingly awesome. No way to describe the sheer beauty of being in a river canyon. I spotted some mountain goats and we were able to watch about 10 of them make their way from the valley to a plateau near the rim. Truly amazing! The only downside is that tours can no longer launch from near the dam in Page. An hour long bus ride to and from the tour company site was unexpected. And the bus driver went through the dangerous mountain pass at 70 mph, which was much too fast. Many of the folks around us were unnerved by this. I have experience driving a bus, and I was unnerved by the driver’s speed. Other than that, highly recommended!
