Hike the Grand Canyon 

Rim-to-Rim

September 22-27, 2018
 


 







Overview 

The Grand Canyon receives millions of visitors every year and is commonly toured by bus, train, jeep, helicopter, and raft; however, these guided trips do not offer a comprehensive understanding of the depth and vastness of this truly majestic place. Only a lucky few actually experience the canyon from Rim to Rim, which is limited to travel by foot and/or mules. This tour offers you a 6-day Grand Canyon adventure with a 2-day guided hiking expedition through the heart of the Grand Canyon from the South Rim, down to the Colorado River, and up to the North Rim (with an overnight stay at the renowned Phantom Ranch). If you are interested in a unique challenge of body and mind, if you enjoy being physically active and are looking for a life-changing experience, then join us on this adventure! It might be time to check off another item on your bucket list!
