Grand Canyon River Trip (1) Introduction - Water Flow - Colorado River Rafting

Hello, We hope the information in this video will answer some of the questions you may have about running the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon. As users of this river corridor, we all have a vested interest in preserving it for future Generations. On behalf of the National Park Service, I'd like to thank you for watching this video. Theres a certain group of travelers that seek a more intense journey into the core of the Canyon; to be part of the dance of water on the Colorado River as it drops almost 2000 feet on its way to Lake Mead. Its what the Hualapai tribe calls the Hayitad, or the backbone and running its length through Grand Canyon National Park is surely one of the prime outdoor experiences available anywhere in the world. Watch the 7 parts of this video to give you a sense of the experience and what is required of you. http://www.nps.gov/grca/parkmgmt/crmp_nc-trip-planning.htm
