Description
Have you ever wanted to backpack in the Grand Canyon? If yes, then join me on this 4-day adventure!
Located in Arizona, in the southwest portion of the United States, The Grand Canyon is the most famous national park in the country…and with good reason. The Canyon is home to red rocks, bright blue rivers, anthropology and so much more, all of which you will get to discover with me.
We begin our journey descending into the canyon for 7 miles in order to reach our campsite, and we will learn some history about the region along the way. We will then rise early the following morning to hike 7.2 miles to walk alongside the Colorado River and experience Ribbon Falls before arriving at our campsite for the evening. The following morning we will rise early to enjoy a hearty breakfast before making our way 4.5 miles to the Indian Gardens, which is probably the most famous attraction in the park: housing many relics from the Havasupai Indian community. We will end our trip the following day after hiking a final 4.8 miles to the Canyon’s South Rim.
This trip is of an intermediate level of difficulty and a fantastic adventure that can be enjoyed year-round! The price includes almost everything you need, so just be sure you have a water container with you for the long hikes ahead.

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.

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!
