Grand Canyon River Trip

This was a commercial river trip run by ARR. The group was organized by Jan Taylor of Southern California around geologist Ivo Lucchita of Flagstaff, Arizona. Ivo led several hikes/climbs and presented much about the geology of the Grand Canyon. Ivo spent much of his career doing geologic mapping and interpretation in the Grand Canyon.

We launched on October 8 and took out at Diamond Creek on October 23, 2006.

Lee's Ferry, Arizona, is the only place you can begin a Grand Canyon river trip. It's just a few straight line miles from Page, Arizona. Here are our boats at the launch ramp there, getting ready to go. Erica (pictured) would be one of our guides.

In a blog, subsequent posts will be ABOVE this one. This is the first Grand Canyon trip post.
