"I just wanted to let you know what a great time my friend Andrea and I had in Havasu Canyon Falls. I thank you for accommodating me and my injured knee. Brianna and Karne were great guides and offered a lot of help and information. I have a new appreciation of canyon hikers and canyon life. Thanks to your tour, I have been educated and am more aware of this great country that we live in. Hopefully in the future, I will be able to return to Havasu. I met a lot of nice people on the tour and really was impressed by the whole operation. Thanks again for a great time. Be sure to tell Brianna and Karne that I thought that they were great and I am thinking about them and their future journeys with others!"

Step 2
The Phantom Ranch deep within the Grand Canyon National Park is the most popular location for visitors wishing to experience the "bottom of the canyon" and one of their most memorable outdoor adventure weekends.

We hike down either the Bright Angel Trail or the adjacent South Kaibab Trail, cross the roaring Colorado River on an extension bridge and camp at the lovely Bright Angel Campground.

As our guide prepares a nutritious dinner you can wander down to the riverbank and maybe spot a raft tour floating by or a rainbow trout breaking the surface.

The history of the canyon is so very interesting, and our guide will certainly have some tales to tell.

We camp at the famous Indian Gardens the second night where a large artesian spring gushes directly from the canyon wall.

When standing on the top and gazing back down into canyon below, you can already feel exhilaration of knowing you were all the way down there, a wonderful accomplishment.

The trip includes the following:
  • Van transport from Sedona and Flagstaff
  • All necessary backpacking / camping gear
  • Experienced and knowledgeable guides
  • All necessary permits and park fees
