Tops Reasons to Raft the Grand Canyon with Arizona River Runners in May

If you’ve been thinking about taking the trip of a lifetime and rafting the Grand Canyon this summer – why wait?  According to Arizona River Runners, May is an outstanding time to get out on the river for many reasons, but here are their top ten.

 

First things first – you’ll save 10% if you book an Arizona River Runners trip that launches before May 15, 2011.  That will free up some funds to spend later on in the summer while you are fondly remembering the best vacation you’ve ever had.  Also, check for last minute specials at www.raftarizona.com.

 

Taking advantage of our May savings offer will give you the opportunity to stop and smell the flowers.  The Grand Canyon boasts hundreds of species of ferns, flowering plants, conifers, clubmosses and other gymnosperms (you might even learn what all of those terms mean on your river trip).  Have you ever wanted to tell your friends you’ve seen the rare Tusayan Flamethrower or the federally-listed endangered Sentry Milkvetch?  Take in the beauty of Grand Canyon spring blooms and greenery on an early-season river trip. (Bloom and greenery varies based on winter precipitation and how quickly April and May temperatures rise.)

 

May weather is usually perfect in the Canyon – with average daytime high temperatures in the mid-90′s and overnight lows in the mid-60′s. Speaking of nights – you won’t want to fall asleep before you take in the Stunning Star-Studded Skies, especially magical in May.  Except for the light of the moon at times, the complete absence of light allows the best stargazing anywhere.  You will go to bed literally blanketed by a night sky bursting with dazzling stars, satellites and the Milky Way.

 

Spring offers a fresh start in the natural world, and you’ll have a better chance of seeing baby animals in their natural habitat on an early-season river rafting adventure.  From pups to kits to kids to fledglings, keep your eyes open for the spring’s crop of youngsters venturing out into the Canyon.  Spring is also a fresh start to another rafting season and the boats and guides are back on the river and loving it; and the water and Canyon air carry an especially welcoming vibe for those lucky spring visitors.

 

Booking a May Grand Canyon rafting trip not only provides rafters with some of the biggest whitewater in North America but also some of the clearest, emerald green water this time of year. Since the Canyon receives on average less than 1/3 inch of rain in May and the source of the mighty Colorado comes from the depths of Lake Powell, chances are you will enjoy that special sparkle whitewater rafting through the Grand Canyon.

 

Your spring vacation will also beat those adventurers focused on “summer vacation” as there tend to be fewer rafters on the river in May.  A spring getaway will leave you especially revived after escaping to the Canyon to experience the freshness of spring.  And finally, it is also a great time for adults to vacation because many kids are still in school.  For those who prefer to hang out with the grown ups (although your inner child will surely emerge on a river trip), May is a great time to experience a Grand Canyon rafting trip.

 

It’s not too late. To check availability and reserve your space on a May whitewater rafting adventure in the Grand Canyon, give Arizona River Runners a call!
