The river is extremely shallow with many gravel bars. An expert guide can navigate a large powerboat without risk to the craft or its passengers. You will be fishing in one of the world's greatest canyons. Towering red-rock cliffs crowd the river channel from Lee's Ferry to the Glen Canyon Dam. Each turn in the winding river brings a new vista.
Beaches dot the river side, often with lush greenery.
They are delightful rest stops or lunch spots. Many people camp on the beaches. Rest rooms are available at regular intervals. The canyon opens up briefly at Lee's Ferry where it intersects the Vermilion Cliffs. The colorful vistas here are dazzling.
