SALT LAKE CITY, UT, July 27, 2020 – Art can be prescient. For example, did the musical group Styx know how spot-on their 1979 lyrics would be?

Take me down to my boat on the river

And I won’t cry out anymore

This is precisely what Western River Expeditions advocates as a panacea for the pandemic blues (song yet to be released).

Think: Your pipe dream is to raft the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. For the first time in years you’re free to travel in late summer or fall. This may apply to families who have just learned their children will be remote learning instead of returning to their brick-and-mortar classrooms.

Think: Western River Expeditions’ norm is advance-bookings-only for a year or so out on Grand Canyon trips. But cancellations from overseas clients are offering opportunities for river rafting trips still this season.

Here is a list of departure dates with openings:

Grand Canyon 6 Day: Aug. 4, 5, 12, 29, 30

Grand Canyon 7 Day: Sept. 2, 8, 9, 11

Grand Canyon 3 Day: Aug. 10, 16, 17, 23 and Sept. 6, 15

Grand Canyon 4 Day: Aug.1, 9, 10, 15, 16, 24 and Sept.3, 6, 7, 14

Moab, Utah - Cataract Canyon 4 Day: Aug. 4, 11, 18, 25

Moab, Utah - Desolation Canyon 5 Day: Aug. 5, 9

Moab, Utah - Southwest Sampler Package 4 Day:  Aug. 4, 11, 18, 25
