| GRANDSTANDING: A quiet stretch along the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, Arizona (Corel) |
The arid, rugged canyonlands of the American Southwest shelter some of country's most raucous and scenic stretches of whitewater, not least among them being the mother of all rafting trips: an expedition lasting weekssome might call it a spiritual odysseydown the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. And just as first views of the Big Ditch live up to all the hype, a run down the Colorado is nothing short of amazing. Of course, this means that outfitted trips book up years in advance, so put it on your life list now so you can start planning for that spectacular adventure. Meanwhile, don't overlook lesser-known rivers like the Verde, a mellower float with some of the same towering desert beauty that you'll find through the Grand Canyon.
