Tour Description
Fantastic for families, people with limited time, and for a broad range of ages and abilities, the Mule-assisted Grand Canyon Classic Tour (100% a hiking trip) is an opportunity to experience the fullness of the Grand Canyon with a higher level of comfort than a backpacking trip. You get to fully soak in the beauty as you hike with just a small, top-of-the-line backpack we provide, while mules carry your gear down and back up.

Just a few of the tour highlights include starting at the popular South Rim, hiking classic trails with quintessential views, visiting historic Phantom Ranch, camping at breathtaking Bright Angel Campground, spending time at the Colorado River, and hiking by ancient Indian Gardens. You can just relax and enjoy yourself, as we provide all the gear, tasty meals, and a professional guide. This hike is an all-around taste of the Grand Canyon in a relatively short amount of time - don't miss it!
