Summary: Highly recommended day trip which really was a family day to treasure forever. Fairly long drive to start point (collected promptly at hotel) which was enlivened by super knowledgeable and friendly guide Stevie B. Great time on the river with a couple of interesting stops thrown in. Friendly river guide (Devon?) was also very helpful and knew everything about Glen Canyon. Extra stop at Navajo Bridge added on way back as a bonus by Stevie, who was also a great driver. If you've read the description and know what to expect, I don't see how you could possibly be disappointed.

Summary:

Even with the temps in the 100's, this was an enjoyable time. The guide was wonderful. She did start and stop to explain areas of the rocks. Provisions of cool water, lunch, drinks, and cold water to dip hats and scarves in was provided!
