Our guides were Hualapai tribal members with more than 14 years of experience in Grand Canyon guiding. The Hualapais, owns over 100 miles of magnificent canyon land. The side canyons were home for the Hualapai people.
Oral history is rich, with knowledge of the native plants and animals.
We didn't miss this chance to travel back through time. Morning pick-up was in front of each lodge and was on an old school bus for a dirt road plunge into the canyon to the launch place at river's edge. The next few days went rapidly and we arrived at the lake behind Hoover Dam safely.
