"OUTDOORS UNLIMITED River Trips"


ON THE RIVER WITH OUPhoto of raft drifting deep in the Canyon

The Colorado River through the Grand Canyon is a place like no other on Earth. The magnitude of scale, the majesty of its towers and buttes, the changing appearance as light and shadow play across its walls, the mighty river shifting restlessly between vertical ramparts; each holds promise of a river adventure without equal.

Life on the river is elemental. You will find unique satisfaction in simple things; a cool drink of water, a soft beach to lay your bedroll on, a quiet conversation with friends. Each day is measured by where you are and what you have done, your city routines quickly succumbing to the pattern of Canyon living.

Our crew will guide you through the booming rapids, lead explorations into hidden canyons and explain about the lives of the "ancient ones" who made the Canyon their home. As we contemplate the remains of their ancient dwellings we can imagine the struggle these pre-historic Americans endured. For thousands of years they roamed the Canyon, carving farm plots from rocky niches, hunting game on the rims above, building simple shelters from the elements.

The outside world knew virtually nothing of this place until 1869, when John Wesley Powell led the first exploration of this uncharted marvel, surveying the last remaining blank on the map of the United States. Now it is an experience that is available to all. Where hardships were first endured, we can now enjoy the Canyon in safety and comfort that is afforded by modern equipment and years of experience.

Outdoors Unlimited has been a river outfitter for over 30 years and prides itself on the quality of the experience we offer. We started river running because of the adventure and the love of the places we visited. This is just as true now as we enter the new millenium as it was when rafting was in its infancy. As new techniques and technology have advanced in rafting, OU has worked continuously at being at the forefront of the industry's evolution. The art of creating a quality river trip and facilitating a memorable experience, we believe, begins and ends with caring about what we do.


OU starts by hiring some of the best guides in the business. Many of our guides have been with us for 10, 15, and even 20 years. We hire people that care about the river, "The Canyon", and the experience we offer to our clients. We feel that our staff and crew can make the difference in your trip. So, come and share this incredible place and wonderful adventure with us. If you are going to take the trip of your dreams only once, run with the finest!
