Grand Canyon, AZ (June, 2012) - Travel demand is back for Grand Canyon rafting trips during the summer months of June, July and August. Historically this has been the prime time for the limited number of commercial whitewater trips available on the Colorado River through Grand Canyon. Arizona River Runners sees this trend returning as demand increases for these Colorado River trips.

"If you have a Grand Canyon raft trip on your bucket list, now is the time to plan ahead and secure space for summer 2013," says Bruce Winter, co-owner of Arizona River Runners. Reservations are normally made up to a year in advance with many trips selling out immediately after they are made available. There are group rates offered for families and corporate groups of 10 or more traveling together. Now for a limited time, Arizona River Runners is still accepting 2013 reservations at current 2012 prices. Take advantage of this win-win special and act now because it won’t last long.

The popular early season "Hikers’ Specials", introduced a few years ago, are available for 2013 in April and early May for those adventure seekers and hiking enthusiasts who don’t have to plan their travel around school schedules. These 6, 7, 10 and 12 day white water rafting trips offer additional time for side canyon exploration during the milder Arizona spring temperatures. Many of these amazing hiking trails are only accessible from the Colorado River.
