After a year stuck indoors, Summer 2021 saw Americans flock to our National Parks. With lines stretching miles to get in, the thought of traveling to parks oversaturated with people probably doesn’t sound intriguing. But SL has a solution...

Western River Expeditions in the Grand Canyon.

These exclusive, upscale rafting trips are the perfect way to experience the beauty of the Grand Canyon without the hassle of the post-pandemic crush of people. The National Parks Service even regulates the number of permits it issues for rafting trips per year. A modern-day version of “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”, these experiences begin with a dramatic flight via helicopter into the Canyon before your excursion onto the rapids. Only the tip of the iceberg, jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring views continue the entire trip.

Beyond the countless opportunities to Instagram, the most memorable part of the trip is arguably the guides. Working tirelessly to ensure you have the best experience possible, even the most novice outdoorsman or outdoorswoman will enjoy themselves. Going above and beyond, dietary restrictions can even be accommodated ... you’re welcome, vegans.

Don’t miss this chance to skip the line and get outside to see one of our country’s most striking national parks. To book your trip today visit: www.westernriver.com.
