Grand Canyon Rafting in 4K (60fps) - Major Rapids - Winter 2019

Footage from a twenty-six day float down the Colorado River in December of 2019. Five oar-rig boats rowed by fifteen people. This short edit documents major rapids (class 4 and greater) from Lee's Ferry to Pearce Ferry (mile 280).

This video is DOPE!!!! The video quality and music production are everything!!!

[@BarryKruse]

Wonderful cut, fun music, great quality. I appreciate the sped-up bits to get to the juice.

[@BlissBlissBliss720]

Fantastic footage. Fantastic music.

[@4dhack]

I was today years old when I found out you can raft inside of the Grand Canyon. Amazing

[@scottc5627]

That Hance run got spicy. Watching someone run down Hermit sideways gives me anxiety, but it looks like she was a tad right of the meatiest meats? That Crystal run, maybe three seconds into the clip I thought "They're going in the hole for sure," nice job squaring up just before it, probably prevented a flip. Looks like a sick trip with a sick crew! Nice video.

[@lesterdiamond6190]

having rowed drift boats a lot I agree. I get freaked out when i see a boat sideways in heavy water.

[@NikhilShahi]

Awesome video - thanks for making this. So fun to see all the major rapids on this trip. It's on my bucket list.

[@brettnbeckvalleyvan]

An absolutly, most enjoyable video, Thanks for sharing

[@rtennant]

I have some minor quibbles here and there, but you clearly know what you're doing! Congratulations!

[@robgrey6183]

Took out at Pierce 5 days back. Having run rivers all over North America I'm here to say that the Grand Canyon is about drinking, with some rafting thrown in.

[@unknownrapid2724]

Music to my ears

Nice video. Thank you.

[@Jennilee06]

Y’all seem fun AF

[@jennasharp1048]

Awesome video! I'm rowing the Grand Canyon for the first time this November. What software did you use to edit the video?

[@billerubin4240]

Great camera vantage view

[@delriv5238]

Well done sir.

[@rrauzon]

did you feel good about drysuits on this trip? looks awesome.

[@user-ko9ix7hm5j]

Nice sountrack

[@bigstraz]

That was rad!

[@knaz7468]

Thanks for putting this together ... really helps visualize the rapids. Unsure of the flow. Seemed clear/low at the beginning then muddy/higher for that last 3/4? Also ignore all the people that didn't like you music, the whole video was great.

[@CanyoneeringUSA]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Hakudog5]

Were the temps and weather better, worse, or about what you expected?

[@bcarroll94bcarroll94]

I like to play alternative-sport vids for my students at the end of the day when we need to zen out. This is almost perfect, but I'd have to mute it and play some chillhop instrumentals on the side.

[@carlosw2006]

Nice save 8:30 !!

[@RaftGuideJes]

Great Video! QUESTION: what was your GoPro rear pole mount setup? I have a private GC winter trip in couple weeks trying to get my GoPro system put together..

[@evanmckittrick9737]

I have the same question! Do you have a picture of the boat with the camera set up? Thanks!

[@CleanLineCreative]

I pretty much copied this guy's design and it worked out awesome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKbagHZ_oaxkgLc

[@nicolefuller3114]

What did you use to film this? Sick video btw! love it

[@duenow1]

amazing! how did you guys mount the go pro? Did you bring tons of extra battery? thanks

[@btcounts]

What was the flow at?

[@pruettmfnance1]

Video is awesome and the mix is great. Did you put the music together or can I find it online somewhere?

[@pruettmfnance1]

@Nicholas Uber do you know by who?

[@ARCEJ33]

Im curious, do you stop to camp along the way or do you tackle the hole trail in a day?

[@gamewarrior010]

The whole trip is about 280 miles and takes about 14 days This just skips that part although this is the fun part

[@bodhimedia1]

Music? Sweet video!

[@bitcoinyachtclub2766]

Killer runs and video. Who the first song by?

[@jenray5830]

Sampa the Great

[@Zseselja]

What was the average temp on your trip? How cold were the nights?

[@CleanLineCreative]

To be honest, not really sure. Once we were on the river we didn't really keep track. Woke up most mornings to frost on the boats. Most day were probably in the 40's and low 50's!

[@hannahmech9443]

what was the CFS?

[@12poppie12]

What level is this? 3-4?

[@herbmanning8348]

The best Grand Canyon boating video on KZbin!

[@CleanLineCreative]

Thanks for the love, Herb!

[@RobPollen]

[@mrloftybreez1503]

[@funkyflights]

Wow .... So over 200 miles of rafting ?

[@TheBunkerdog]

You used an excellent outfitter service

[@DRBLUESNYC]

Hi there. WHich outfitter service is this? Thanks

[@bugglebegger143]

4:00 looked like it was very close to going badly

[@JARGRamirez]

What means the numbers (6) ??

[@crystalfelton3232]

the class of rapid, I believe

[@Hakudog5]

Grand Canyon rapids are graded on a 1-10 scale where Lava Falls is the hardest rapid (10) . The rest of the rapids are then compared to it and given a difficulty rating. Crystal rapid is the only other rapid rated over 8. A number of rapids like Hance, Granite, Horn and Upset and others are rated an 8. A few 7's, a lot of 4, 5 and 6's and plenty of 2's and 3's. I don't recall seeing a 1 in the guide book...but they kind of leave the riffles out of it since its already chuck full of rapid descriptions.

[@ThatsabigfatNo]

Crystal Felton there are more then one 10, but like he said, they are measured 1-10 within the canyon. They have their own scale.

[@user-ke9md3rn1y]

Awasmmm........

[@MrWils25]

Water cleared up downstream? WTF?

[@mehoogum7032]

Point and go river

[@alycecaters9039]

This is amazing! I'm a reporter for Caters News and we'd love to feature this video in a new tv series we're working on. Can you please email me at [e-mail] for details - thank you!

[@monicalarkin4616]
