Logistical Shift: Transitioning from Marble Canyon to Page, AZ

By RaftArizona • January 8, 2025

Thank you for your patience as we’ve gathered all the details. This update to our previous post includes information on hotels, parking, and beverage orders.

Due to the new ownership of Marble Canyon Lodge and the unexpected closure of its airstrip, we will be shifting our operations to Page Municipal Airport.

Page, AZ is the closest town to Marble Canyon with an airstrip, hotels, and restaurants. While this won’t impact the rafting portion of your trip, it does shift the transportation logistics, and you need to plan accordingly.

Trips This Will Affect: 6 Day Motor, 7 Day Motor

If you’ve booked the Las Vegas charter flight: We will take care of the flight arrangements. Your flight on the first day of the trip will now be from Las Vegas to Page, AZ. Your return flight to Las Vegas after the trip will not be affected.

There is a 25-pound luggage limit (including beverages) on the charter flight to Page, but there are no specific liquid restrictions. To avoid extra weight on the flight, please look out for an email from our reservation team with instructions on placing an online beverage order. You’ll pick up your order in Page before taking a 45 minute shuttle to launch point, Lees Ferry.

If you plan to drive yourself to Page, AZ: Please make your hotel reservations as soon as possible at either the La Quinta Inn & Suites or Super 8 using the discounted booking links provided here. These links, along with other important hotel and parking information, are also available in your trip info packet. Parking is free at the La Quinta Inn & Suites for the duration of the river trip. On the first morning of the trip, meet the shuttle driver in the lobby of the La Quinta Inn & Suites by 7:25 a.m. for transportation to the launch point at Lees Ferry.

On the final day of your trip, your flight will land at the Page Municipal Airport, where a shuttle will take your car at the La Quinta Inn & Suites; please note that for large parties, the shuttle may need to make multiple trips.

Your experience is important to us, and we are committed to making your journey as smooth as possible. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you,
The ARR Team
