Grand Canyon Rafting
Rafting the Grand Canyon is one of those things we've blogged about here a few times that remains a true epic adventure right here at home. One of the great things about the Canyon is that it is a trip most anyone can do. Older people, younger ones ,men and women .Way back when Willy over at Divester rafted the canyon and posted some fine photos, and there are lots of articles out there about it. But most of them are a your typical "I know what I did last summer narratives. But Philip Greenspun has put together a much more informative article on the subject that is worth reading if you ,like many of us ,have rafting the canyon on your life list. Greenspun explains the various ways you can get down the river, provides lots of fact, but more, he posts many many fabulous pictures of his trip. This is a solid, shiny gem of an article.

It is quite an enjoyable read and was well edited with excellent footnotes for the text. Flavell's text offers a glimpse into the settlement of the area through his descriptions of some of his encounters on the river trip.
