Description

Calling all backpackers to the Grand Canyon! Come join me on this 3-day backpacking adventure in the United States‘ most famous national park!

The Grand Canyon is an American treasure, and is located in the state of Arizona, which is in the southwest part of the country. Famous for both its natural beauty and anthropological preservation, it is a wonder to see and experience.

On this classic backpacking route of the Grand Canyon, you will get to experience the highlights that the national park offers, over the course of 3 memorable days. We will begin our trip descending 7.5 miles into the base of the canyon so that we can walk along the bright blue Colorado River and enjoy the spectacular red rock of the canyon. We will then rise early the following morning to enjoy the cooler temperatures while they last and hike 4.5 miles to the Indian Gardens, which preserve relics of the Havasupai Indian community. We will then again rise early the following morning to hike 4.8 miles on the Bright Angel Trail in order to finish our trip in the South Rim.

This trip is a great adventure to have on a long-weekend! It is also of an intermediate level of difficulty, making it an excellent excursion to experience as a family (or as an individual or small group).

Request to book this trip if you have always wanted to hike within the Grand Canyon!

Will was great wise and fun to spend the day with.

Phillip

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Lucie

All perfect

Amanda

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
