Mile 229 - Springs, Waterfalls, and Tributaries

Throughout the day, we will stop at or see various streams and drainages flowing out of the side Canyons and into the main river. Places like Pumpkin Springs, Three Springs Canyon, and Travertine Creek all enticingly flow into view, inviting us to explore further. We will make time to stop and play in waterfalls, pools, and natural springs as we make our way downriver. These are great places to cool off, take photos, and to cool off in hidden side canyons. We will also learn about the ancestral, spiritual, and historical connections that the 11 Culturally Affiliated Tribes have with the Grand Canyon. This has long been their home, and archaeological evidence of their history is also prevalent. Have sturdy shoes or sandals for exploring some of these places as part of the itinerary!
