GRAND CANYON RIM TO RIM

"I was amazed at the ability to have such great food on the hike with 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 hike? Having to leave!!!!" I would recommend your company to anyone both novice and expert hikers."

Grand Canyon Rim to Rim

Tour Description

Our Rim-to-Rim hiking tour is a Grand Canyon legend and deservedly so! The ability to hike across the Canyon is what makes 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 hike down the North Kaibab Trail. We then meet up with Bright Angel Creek and hike along it to Cottonwood Campground, a stunning desert oasis for our first night. Our second campsite is the famous Bright Angel Campground, and on the hike there we'll take a side trip to Ribbon Falls, one of the most dramatic Grand Canyon waterfalls. During the evening of the second day, we'll enjoy camping near Phantom Ranch and the Colorado River, before continuing our hike via the Bright Angel Trail to Indian Garden on the third day. We spend our last evening hiking out to Plateau Point, one of the best views in the Grand Canyon, before returning to lush Indian Garden for the night. We resume our hike and top out the fourth day at the South Rim, where a shuttle awaits us to complete our journey back to Flagstaff.
