What are the other requirements for the Ranger Checkout?
What is involved in the Orientation Program at Lee’s Ferry? The group walks to a trailer behind the long-term parking lot, where the ranger plays a DVD. Expect an overview of Park Regulations, advice regarding bathing and toilet procedures, hiking, camping, boating, nudity, wildlife, and more. The program takes 1-2 hours. (Your group can be exempted from the program if everyone on the trip has done a Grand Canyon river trip within the last year.) Is there electricity for blowing up boats at Lee’s Ferry? Yes. There’s a place to plug in at the ramp; you need a long extension cord to get the blower near the water. If you have a PRO put-in shuttle and a boat rental, we’ll provide a blower and cord. Is there drinking water at Lee’s Ferry? Yes, for most of the year. In the winter they turn off the pump at the ramp, so bring water during the coldest months.
