Welcome to Western's "Guest Blog", where our very own guests get to record and share their rafting experiences with us, before, "during" and after their adventure vacation (in more than 188-Twitter or 420-Facebook characters)!

Not only are we excited to hear every guest's experience, we also know it can be helpful for others wondering about this journey for themsleves. We do realize there's only so much that can prepare a person for the vacation of a lifetime...

Enjoy!

A few days ago, I received in the mail the “Paid in Full” receipt for our 7 day Grand Canyon rafting trip. Now I know this is real. As much as I hate to wish my life away, I find myself checking my “days until” app on my phone much more than I...Read More » »
