Challenge yourself and family/friends on a hiking journey that less than 1% of Grand Canyon’s 6+ million visitors actually experience, hiking Rim-to-Rim and staying at the Phantom Ranch (a journey which is limited to travel by foot or mules). Plus, your private tour leader will recommend quality hiker training, prep you for this challenging hike with a packing list and other tips, safely guide you through the canyon trails, share his favorite sites, stories, and experiences along the Rims, recommend the best meals to grab, and make sure you have the best hiking experience with memories your family/friends will share forever. Further, your time on the South Rim can be tailored to you and your family’s/friend’s interests. This six-day Grand Canyon adventure includes a two-day privately 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 along with all lodging (includes overnight stay at Phantom Ranch) and meals listed. The bookend days allow for acclimation, preparations and getting to know the canyon.
