Joy Staveley, president of Canyoneers Inc., which provides rafting trips down the Colorado River, said Canyoneers has found itself in that position. Grand Canyon National Park recently extended the closure of the Colorado River until June 14. “It is discouraging; I think the park ought to follow at least what the state of Arizona decides to do,” Staveley said. And now, Staveley said she is worried there may be no commercial rafting season this year at all. In the meantime, Staveley said Canyoneers has been running off of the earnings they made last year.
