A Grand Canyon Dory Story if you want to see what it was like. We made it with a young lady that was on the trip. She did the narration and we supplied the video and did the editing. She does a good job of telling the story.
If you go, I recommend dories over rafts. I strongly recommend going earlier or late in the year because the weather is better and they don't allow motorboat trips. You'll also get the best guides because the most senior guides can pick their trips and they pick the non-summer trips.
Surprisingly, I was the 2nd youngest passenger on the trip. The narrator in the video was in her early 20s. I turned 57 on the trip. All of the other passengers were older.
