When we think of weddings we think of white - white gown, possibly white flowers, white cake. Here's another white to think about - white water rafting Grand Canyon . Really. If you and your sweetie want something totally different from your typical lives as a venue for your honeymoon, then surely an adventurous rafting trip has to qualify.

The river running through the Grand Canyon is the Colorado River, and it has etched one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World out of the state of Arizona that is a mile deep and 277 miles in length. Think of rafting this truly amazing canyon through mile after breathtaking mile of Earth laid bare over the thousands of years, spectacular waterfalls, and fascinating ancient ruins. The Pueblo people regarded this area as sacred; it is certainly a national treasure.

Individuals considering Grand Canyon white water rafting often choose the large motorized raft trips offered by professional outfitters. They will handle all the logistics for you and provide skilled and attentive guides. A normal day begins early, with a hearty breakfast washed down with "cowboy coffee," followed by breaking down camp and loading the rafts. Packing light gains a whole new meaning when you examine the small, water-resistant bag supplied for your personal items.

All that is swept aside when you realize your new family is whitewater rafting the Colorado River on the trip of a lifetime. Less than one percent of visitors to the Grand Canyon actually experience this impressive tour of rapid shooting, lazy floating, tumbling waterfalls, historic ruins, and regal wildlife. Your guide will plan the day based on his experience, the state of the river and where you happen to be at the moment. Imagine backpacking in the Grand Canyon, exploring side canyons with glimpses of petroglyphs or tranquil pools that beckon you to take an invigorating dip after lunch time.

Ah yes, Grand Canyon backpacking and rafting might be your honeymoon adventure of choice. But make sure to plan ahead. This natural wonder is preserved under the Colorado River Management Plan and trips can be reserved a year or more in advance due to strict access controls. If you think about the lead times required by a Mexican or Hawaiian vacation resort, though, this doesn't seem all that unreasonable. Furthermore, it could very well end up the more affordable honeymoon option.

So, take a chance on something different for your honeymoon. Grand Canyon white water rafting is a grand adventure, but then, so is matrimony.
