Whistler: Hanging in a Gondola, Hiking on the Trails
Horseshoe Bend in Page Arizona
As part of the Colorado River tour we went around Horseshoe bend in our raft. However, you really appreciate the beauty (and the depth) of this attraction when you visit it from the top of the canyon.
It is a horseshoe shaped meander in the Colorado River. This section of the river is near the town of Page, Arizona. It is about a fifteen minute drive from town. It is a short hike over a hill and across the red rock and sand. As there is no shade it is good to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon when the sun is not so hot.
We made time for this stop before our Colorado river rafting tour.
Rafting down the Colorado River
Glen Canyon, Colorado River
One of the main reasons we came through Page, Arizona was to raft down the Colorado river. We booked our trip with Raft the Canyon. We had a great trip, our raft tour guide Rex was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, laid back and fun!
Clayoquot Sound: A kayak trip to remember
Our kayak adventure started in the picturesque town of Tofino. The small town of Tofino is located on Vancouver Island in Clayoquot Sound. If you ever find yourself on Vancouver Island, make it a priority to visit Tofino. Tofino is a must. Even more make sure you take a kayak trip. We signed up for our tour with Black Bear Kayak. Our tour guide TJ was awesome. Kayaking and hiking with him felt like hanging out with an old friend. He was also very knowledgeable about the trees and plants on our hiking trip. We highly recommend this tour.
