WayaLifers Hits the Whitewater of the Grand Canyon

Thought we would share some photos of our summer vacation that occurred last week... A 8 day, 7 night trip through the Grand Canyon from Lee's Ferry to Whitmore Wash a total of 188 miles of Colorado River floating and Whitewater rapids running. No there's no Jeeps in these photos (thou we did drive the JKUR to get there) but the story relates to the 'Wayalife' and even the JK Experience and since we really enjoyed the trip, we hope you will too through these few photos.....

The main requirement of the trip..WayaLife wear, (including a shirt we found in the marina store that we couldn't pass up), a bottle of honey (emptied after 7 nights) and of course the wife!

The beauty and tranquility of the whole thing is hard to explain.

The last day of the trip, a helicopter ride out of the canyon after 8 days and 188 miles to the Bar 10 ranch (JKE Wild West stayover) for a shower, lunch and a plane ride back to Page AZ.
We can now check that one off the bucket list!!!!!

No lottery, just limited amount of trips available so you have to book up to a year in advance. One lady on the trip does it every year and this was her 7th trip, and 4th for another guy. If you thinking about it, go with Wilderness River Adventures, as it was great as those two said they wouldn't use the other companies. It was the experience of a life time!!!
