Description

Join one of our seasoned guides for the experience of a lifetime as we hike through the Grand Canyon from its South to North Rim and back again!

The Grand Canyon is a truly unique place, boasting several distinct microclimates and serving as a roadmap to the past four billion years of Earth’s history.

Over the course of our five-day trek, we will hike by the Colorado River, past waterfalls, Native American ruins and through box canyons, all while enjoying the quiet solitude afforded to us by the off-peak winter season.

We begin our trip on the South Rim and descend into the canyon along the South Kaibab Trail and down to Bright Angel Campground, a gorgeous canyon-floor campground.

The next day we cross the Colorado River near Phantom Ranch and make our way along the river, making one detour to see a fantastic canyon waterfall – Ribbon Falls.

Next, we ascend the other side of the canyon on the North Kaibab Trail, where we will enjoy some of the best views in the park, before finishing off our circuit by descending back into the canyon and crossing back to the South Rim via the dynamic Bright Angel Trail.

We advise that participants are in shape before we begin the trek, which is 10 miles in length with 4,500 feet of elevation gain. Due to the immense size of the canyon, temperatures will change throughout the duration of our trip, so please dress accordingly.

So, if you are up for a sublime trek through America’s most iconic landmark, what are you waiting for? Book now for your adventure of a lifetime!

Great guides and great snow!

Peggy

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!
