We recommend leaving your e-reader at home. Canyon Explorations/Expeditions provides a river library stocked with Grand Canyon titles that guests are welcome to enjoy in camp each evening. Many rafters also bring a paperback book if they prefer their own reading material.
While not strictly prohibited, e-readers are generally discouraged because:
- River trips involve water, sand, and heat — all risky for electronics
- Charging opportunities are limited
- Solar chargers are cumbersome and intrusive
- The canyon experience is designed to help guests unplug
Bringing a lightweight paperback is usually a simpler, safer option.
