I went with the group of 25 veterans a couple weeks ago and had a blast. The guides knew everything and were excellent hosts. One of them (Owen) even played the guitar and sang for us several times! We ate like kings and got to sample every aspect of the canyon I was interested in, from side canyons and waterfalls to ruins and even a helicopter medevac when one of our teammates felt sick. Jay, Owen, and Liam, you guys are amazing and I have been recommending you three and your organization to a lot of people ever since we said our farewells. I hope to return soon and several times. Hats off to you all. *And please let me know if there are any other places where I should post this review.
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to experience this Grand Canyon trip. So many of us carry so around after we serve, the Grand Canyon represented letting go, moving forward. It would have never been possible without this organization. My wish would be that more vets were afforded this opportunity of this life changing experience.
My husband was selected to go on the annual GCRRA trip this year. He had a tough time after leaving the USMC. He had recently hit rock bottom and I was honestly nervous about him leaving to go. I am so glad that he did. This 12 day journey was life changing for him. Not only did they save his life, they saved my family. I will be forever indebted to this association.
