Step 1.

Join the GCRRA. We are a growing community of people who feel strongly about maintaining the historic diversity of publicly available professionally-outfitted Grand Canyon river trip opportunities now and in the future. Please visit our membership page to join us. Once you become a member, you will receive e-mail news bulletins and action alerts on all Colorado River public access issues.

Step 2.

Stay Informed. In today's world, identifying the truth about complex issues is often not easy. GCRRA is an independent group dedicated to providing accurate, independently verifiable objective information about all Grand Canyon river access issues. Please visit our River Access Issues and Resource Materials pages for more about the current situation and what is at stake.

Step 3.

Write a letter. The CRMP public comment process on the park's draft Environmental Impact Statement has ended. However, you can still share your thoughts wiith your congressman, the National Park Service Director, and your local newspaper. Go here for contact information and for tips on how to write a powerful letter.

Step 4.

Share what your river trip meant to you. We want to hear from you! Send us a letter to share your thoughts and feelings about what your professionally-outfitted river trip meant to you and your family. Would you have been able to do your trip without the aid of an outfitter or the particular trip option you selected? Have a look at our Community page to hear about other folks are saying.

Step 5.

Start a GCRRA chapter in your area. GCRRA is a national group with local and regional chapters. Chapter activities are organized by their local leaders. Such activities might include conducting GCRRA membership drives, holding meetings or workshops, initiating local letter-writing campaigns, or meeting with editorial boards or your congressman and senator. Additionally, GCRRA chapter presidents serve on the GCRRA Advisory Committee that assists the Board of Directors.
