NEW HANCE TO GRANDVIEW

"The Rim to Rim lived up to expectations...however I know that when I look back on my trips it will be the experience of life in the outback with Jill and Margie which sticks in my mind. Being away from people with a full pack was a real novelty and I could not have had better guides with real local knowledge on all matters Canyon related to help me."

Tour Description

Are you up for a more challenging adventure? Experience famous "Red Canyon", one of the most geologically unique areas in the Grand Canyon, and hike the exciting New Hance Trail on this unforgettable trekking adventure!

On the first day you'll hike down the little used New Hance Trail into Red Canyon, where you'll spend the night in this breathtaking geologic area. We'll camp in Red Canyon or by the Colorado River, depending on the day's progress. Red Canyon's lower elevations are predominately Hakatai Shale, undoubtedly the most brilliant crimson of any formation in the Canyon.

We then hike west from the beginning of the Tonto Trail at the Colorado River. This is the eastern beginning of renowned Granite Gorge, and we camp one night at beautiful Hance Creek. On the last day we climb Horseshoe Mesa to see some famous mining ruins and, if time allows, Cave of the Domes before following the Grandview Trail back to the Rim.
