HORSESHOE MESA TOUR

"This was the best family vacation we have ever been on! The hike was challenging with beautiful scenery and there was never a dull moment. Scott and Shelly were amazing hiking guides, taking care of everything. We don't think there is any other way to see the Grand Canyon than to hike and camp at the Mesa." - Nancy Stocks

Tour Description

If you're interested in experiencing the wilder side of the Grand Canyon and only have a couple days or a long weekend to fit it in, this backpacking tour is for you!

Starting down the famous Grandview Trail, you will be astonished at the beautiful views of this unique and breathtaking part of the Canyon. This route descends a hiking trail built by one of the Grand Canyon's most famous miners, Pete Berry, in the late 1800s. His amazing, well-built trail winds its way for three miles down unlikely slopes and cliffs before ending at Horseshoe Mesa and the ancient Last Chance Mine.

Once at the mesa, we'll set up camp and explore the Cave of the Domes, then hike to the edge of the Mesa which extends into the Canyon like the deck of a battleship. The second day features a stunning hike down to Cottonwood Creek, a year round water source and an incredible desert oasis to explore. The third day sees us hiking back to the South Rim and the Grandview Trailhead. Give us a call to learn more!
