Guest Speaker: Person from Hatch River
Subject: Hiking focused rafting opportunities in Grand Canyon
We will be in the up stairs room

Steve Hatch is the 3rd generation owner of Hatch River Expeditions. His grandfather, Bus Hatch, founded the company in 1929 taking guests down the Green and Yampa Rivers, and then down the Colorado River through Grand Canyon starting in 1934. Today, Hatch focuses solely on running Grand Canyon trips, offering motorized, oar powered, and hiking focused options.
Our hiking focused trips take place over 12 days, on motorized rafts, allowing plenty of opportunity to explore longer trails in Grand Canyon that are accessible from the river. Guests may also choose to do only the upper portion (6 days) or only the lower portion (7 days) of the 12 day trip, hiking the Bright Angel Trail (which connects the river to the South Rim) to either start or end their trips.
