I strongly agree with Carolyn Chase on her recommendation of Wilderness World
as being a good company with which to travel down the river. In addition to the
things she mentioned above I feel that from my observations that they have some
of the best equipment on the river. The rowing frames and rafts seem to be of
higher quality than the other oar powered raft companies' rafts. Most companys
had rowing frames constructed of bolted together wooden 2x4s and WW has rowing
frames made from welded aluminum. I went on trips through the CANYON two summers
in a row with this company. As for the wet-suit booties that is a matter of
choice that I didn't find necessary. Incidently my first trip was in the first 
half of September and the second in the second half of July.
