RIM TO RIM ON THE KAIBAB

"I was amazed at the ability to have such great food with the experience of Bennet, we had more amazing food than I have ever had while backpacking, let alone in the Grand Canyon. What was the worst part of my experience? Having to leave!!!!" I would recommend your company to anyone both novice and expert hikers."

Tour Description

Our Rim-to-Rim Tour is a Grand Canyon legend and deservedly so! The ability to hike across the Canyon is what make it so special, as you have the unique opportunity to experience both Rims and everything in between.

We begin our hike on the cooler, shaded North Rim where we descend the North Kaibab Trail. We then meet up with Bright Angel Creek and follow it to Cottonwood Campground, a stunning desert oasis for our first night. Our second campsite is the famous Bright Angel Campground, and on the way we will take a side trip to Ribbon Falls, one of the most dramatic Canyon waterfalls. During the evening of the second day, we enjoy camping near Phantom Ranch and the Colorado River, then continue our journey on the third day to Indian Gardens Campground. We spend our last night at this ancient spring where Native Americans had seasonal gardens for centuries. We top out the fourth day at the South Rim, where a shuttle awaits us to complete our journey back to Flagstaff.
