Not only does being surrounded by the beauty of the Grand Canyon provide a sense of awe and wonder that can be healing for the soul, but spending time in nature has various physiological benefits.

Trips allow guests to be disconnected from screens and electronic devices, which can also help improve your sleep patterns, as the blue light emitted by screens has been shown to disrupt sleep. Having less screen time can also reduce stress levels, improve focus and brain function, and reduce strain on your eyes. Not only do guests benefit from being in nature and disconnected from devices, but sleeping under the stars can also be incredibly peaceful and calming.
No artificial lights or sounds to distract you can lead to a deep sense of relaxation and tranquility, helping you to unwind and de-stress. In addition to its calming effect, sleeping under the stars can also help your body regulate its natural sleep cycle, which leads to feeling more rested and rejuvenated.

From the calming and rejuvenating effects to its physical health benefits, a river trip might be just what you need to boost health and reset!
