Thanksgiving at Hatch:
4 Things We’re Grateful For
More than Just Colorado River Rafting
As Thanksgiving approaches, we are taking the time to reflect on just a few of the things that we are incredibly thankful for. Being in this business is a blessing that we appreciate every single day, and especially this time of year.
Hatch is thankful for our guests
Memories made on the river last a lifetime. We are so lucky to be able to show Grand Canyon and all its magic to our guests every year. Seeing the transformation of guests after Colorado River rafting provides a magical insight into a person’s soul. It’s rare for a guest to come away unchanged by the Grand Canyon, and we are blessed to bear witness to their transformations. Plus, Hatch guests are just the best! They are always going out of their ways to lend a helping hand, looking out for each other, and showing great respect for the grand nature we are guiding them through. We are so grateful for everyone who has joined Hatch on the river.
Hatch is thankful for Grand Canyon
Beyond the obvious that it is where we conduct business, the Grand Canyon is a profound wilderness. From the endless lessons we learn from the flow of the river, to the extraordinary depth of the Canyon, we’re constantly blown away by its grandness. We pinch ourselves often at our good fortune to be able to work in this natural wonder of the world, let alone share its majesty with others. What a wonderful gift!
Hatch is thankful for our employees
These hard-working men and women are the reason Hatch River Expeditions has been around for 90 years. Hatch likes to boast a loyal and experienced group of river guides. The unique blend of young guides and veteran river runners makes for an amazing crew. Add in the hard working food pack and warehouse employees and the friendly office staff – we believe these guys are the best in the industry. And we are more than thankful for them all!
Hatch is thankful for our rich history
It all started with one pioneering adventurer, Bus Hatch. To think that this one man and his “Dusty Dozen” friends could imprint such a rich Colorado River rafting history is astounding. What a legacy to have a third generation Hatch running the operation, and a fourth generation Hatch as a boatman! We’re grateful for everyone who’s been with Hatch through our 90 years so far, and hopefully many more years to come.
We invite you to share your Thanksgiving blessings with us, especially if we have some in common! Comment on our social media and let us know what you are thankful for this year!
