This view was quite amazing to be surrounded by for 15 days. I highly recommend this for anyone with the time, money and ability to go without their devices for 15 days. Watch out for red ants!

The gorgeous videos of the Skyglow project take you to the inner gorge of the Grand Canyon, where you can watch the sun go down, weather roll in, and the stars come out. Original caption:
Millions of visitors come to Grand Canyon National Park, one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the most visited national park in the western United States. However, very few ever get to experience the Grand Canyon by way of the Colorado River. Stretching from Lees Ferry at Marble Canyon, AZ, through the inner gorge graced with geology dating as far back as 1.8 billion years, all the way to Diamond Creek, just before the river gives way to Lake Mead, these spectacular 225 miles of whitewater rafting are only accessible by guided commercial motor trips and private rafting permits. Although over 6M visitors come to the Grand Canyon every year, only a small fraction gets permission to raft the river, mainly during the late Spring, Summer and early Fall months.
Production of this video was made possible by a commercial rafting partner Grand Canyon Whitewater, check them out at grandcanyonwhitewater.com!
A 12 minute, award winning video of a trip through New Zealand’s South Island. Original video caption:
3 adventurers, a film-maker and a photographer set off on a 6 day, 300km unsupported journey. By combining new bike-packing and pack-rafting technology, they link together white-water rivers and backcountry tracks through some of NZ’s underappreciated wilderness areas. To add to the drama, only months before a massive earthquake changes their plans and reveals opportunities to explore new landscapes. The Waiau-toa Odyssey was awarded the Hiddleston/MacQueen Award for the Best NZ Made Film for the 2017 New Zealand Mountain Film Festival!

Cool video explores the relationship between geology and white-water on rivers (with lots of shots of people kayaking and rafting through that white-water)
