The Friends of Arizona Highways Grand Canyon river trip photo workshop ended on September 24. For ten glorious days we traveled with Arizona Raft Adventures as our outfitter. As always, it was a magnificent experience with a dozen great participants, four terrific guides, (mostly) great weather, and unusual luck at getting the campsites we desired. It's a difficult choice but I think I enjoy these photography-based river trips more than any other river trips--maybe even private river trips--because the entire group is fully focused on squeezing the most out of every moment. Little time is wasted dawdling around camp. And the Grand Canyon, along the river in mid-September, is just incredibly photogenic. Thanks to everyone, the Friends of Arizona Highways, AZRA, the participants, Grand Canyon National Park, and the canyon itself, for making such a wonderful experience possible.
