Overview
The Grand Canyon receives 6+ million visitors every year and is commonly toured by bus, train, jeep, helicopter and raft; however, these 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 or mules. This six-day Grand Canyon adventure includes a two-day guided hiking expedition through the heart of the inner 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). The bookend days allow for acclimation, preparations and getting to know the canyon. If you are interested in a unique challenge of body and mind, if you enjoy hiking and are looking for a life-changing experience, then join us on this rewarding hiking adventure from Rim-to-Rim! It might be time to check off another item on your bucket list!
