| Description |
| We trace our company's beginnings back to Nevills Expeditions, the first to carry passengers for hire down the Colorado River through Grand Canyon.The story began in 1934 at the little hamlet of Mexican Hat, Utah when a young ex-Californian named Norman Nevills decided to treat his new bride to a honeymoon trip down southeastern Utah's rollicking San Juan River. It was a winter trip in a boat made of scrap lumber and it lasted only four days, but that was long enough for Norman to become afflicted with that mixture of awe and excitement river buffs now call "rapids fever".Norm, the son of a gold miner and wildcat oil driller, was then working part time for the Rainbow Bridge Monument Valley Expedition, which was exploring the area for national park status, and when one of its staff expressed interest in going down the river to see and photograph Rainbow Natural Bridge, Norm jumped at the opportunity.
