Partnerships in Grand Canyon and beyond
Collaborations with partner businesses and organizations enable us to create unparalleled experiences for our guests, provide critical support to our guides, and build invaluable connections with the community organizations we care about. Here are a few members of our extended river family:
Grand Canyon River Guides
Grand Canyon River Guides is a passionate association of folks who know and love the Grand Canyon like no other. Some are guides, many are not. Since 1988, GCRG has been here to watch out for the Canyon and to help the guides who work there, while making the river experience the best it can be, and having a great time along the way.
The Whale Foundation
Provides confidential access to mental and physical health care professionals and a network of support services designed to restore, promote, and celebrate the well-being of the Grand Canyon River Guiding Community.
The American Cancer Society & Related Cancer Organizations
Whether through donations or specialty trips, Hatch River Expeditions contributes to the cancer community. We have participated and made donations to local events and fundraisers as well as contributing to larger organizations. Cancer is something that affects us all whether directly or indirectly so we make an effort to be involved when opportunities arise.
The Grand Canyon Fund
The Grand Canyon Fund (formerly known as the Grand Canyon Conservation Fund) is a non-profit enterprise established by a group of Grand Canyon National Park’s licensed river outfitters. Each year, roughly 90% of all professionally outfitted river trip passengers donate $1 per day of their river trip to the Grand Canyon Fund.
Girl Scouts of America
Supporting the Girl Scouts of America for decades, all of our Hatch River Expeditions trips have Girl Scout cookies. A highlight to any picnic lunch, munch on shortbreads, thin mints or even samosa. Some traditions are meant to last forever.
Leave No Trace
The member-driven Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics teaches people of all ages how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly, and is the most widely accepted outdoor ethics program used on public lands. Hatch River Expeditions practice Leave No Trace ethics to help maintain the beauty of Grand Canyon for years to come.
