A river expedition on the Colorado River as it makes its way through the Grand Canyon is the stuff of legends, and with good reason. The whitewater is some of the most wild and daring in the world, and the red rock/blue sky/green trees scenery is second to none. But what about that panorama? If you are lucky enough to score a spot on a river expedition, your Grand Canyon river guide may take you on a couple of side hikes, but you typically won’t have enough time to see the most beautiful side canyons, oases, and vistas in the area.
