Rafting the Grand Canyon

I recently wrote a post called “Take a Hike” for our green living series which highlighted the importance of taking opportunities to really appreciate God’s creation. Well, a little over a week ago I had a great opportunity to get out and enjoy God’s creation. I was blessed with the opportunity to go to the Grand Canyon with my dad and two of my sisters.

Now I have been to this amazing place several times before. I have even hiked to the bottom once or twice. But this trip was incredibly unique even after my previous experiences. We had the opportunity to hike down to the bottom of the canyon (about 9.5 miles) and then get into huge rafts to raft our way out of the canyon (about 180 miles).

Traveling this distance allowed us to experience the incredible diversity and beauty of this wonder that God created. We experienced views from the bottom, saw wildlife, hiked through side canyons and streams, sat under waterfalls, climbed up cliffs, and were bounced around by the rapids. I found myself continually amazed at the diverse beauty of this great place.

This was an incredible way to experience the beauty of God’s creation and a great opportunity to praise the Creator for his handiwork.

Rather than bore you with all the details of this week long trip, I thought I would show you a glimpse of the sights that we saw below.
