Float your moms boat on Mothers Day with a rafting trip down the Grand Canyon (Photos)

Get a jump on Mother's Day with this last minute deal....

What have you done for your mother lately? You might want to think about that and perhaps start planning something big for her Mothers Day gift in May.

A fun option, that you might enjoy too, is a rafting excursion down the Grand Canyon. "The key to budget travel is to approach onward. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Planning and expending our travel budget properly is a concern for most families. Curbing consuming and charges, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, regardless of whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel costs!..". Its not all that far from Los Angeles and rafting pioneer Western River Expeditions http://www.westernriver.com/ is making it easy for you with two six day, five night departures May 8 and 9.

Beyond the gift of gazing up at surreal scenery from the comfort of Western's custom J-Rig raft, exploring hidden waterfalls, delighting in delicious riverside meals and sleeping under endless stars, each mom will be treated like royalty with a number of special surprises and a complimentary "Canyon Gift" on both Mother's Day launches.

The entire trip promises to be a gift she'll never forget and one that will bring the whole family together in an amazing way, said company CEO Brian Merrill. Check out: http://www.westernriver.com/trips/grand6day/mothers-day.php

May is the perfect time for a rafting trip with temperate daytime temperatures (in the 70s and 80s), blankets of spring flowers, thundering waterfalls and more consistent, drier weather. The J-Rig raft assures dry seating if desired plus pontoon seating for the gung-ho who live in the thrill of getting wet.

The Western River Expeditions signature trip conquers over 60 major rapids during a 187-mile run in six or seven days. Rates range from $2,495 per person. Traditionally Grand Canyon trips book full more than a year in advance. The year is somewhat of an anomaly, explained Merrill. Our Mothers Day departures still have lots of room while the rest of the season is pretty much booked to capacity.
