"I wanted to tell you what a great time Gina and I had on our trip. Everything worked out very well with the equipment, food and logistics of the trip. What made our trip special was our guide, Frank Romaglia. Frank was very knowledgeable about the area. He was extremely capable in all areas and was very willing to take the time to explain whatever we asked. He was the last one to sleep and the first one up. He ate every meal last and prepared it beautifully. He was genuinely excited about the trip and that excitement rubbed off on us. He was interesting and it was obvious to us that he was a nice guy. He encouraged us to do things that we definitely would not have done if we didn't have the confidence that he gave us. Overall, we are very happy with the trip and would recommend it to others. My special thanks go out to Frank. He made our trip special. Thanks,"
- John & Gina Malara

Step 2
Join us at the scenic south rim Grand Canyon for a wonderful day of hiking below the rim or rim top sightseeing. We start the day by picking you up in Sedona, Flagstaff, Williams or any hotel at the Grand Canyon. For a personalized, small group experience, this is the one.

We have 4 trails that we hike, the Bright Angel trail, the South Kaibab trail, the Grandview Trail and the Hermit trail. The trail we choose for you will depend on your fitness ability, weather conditions and trail conditions. We will discuss the conditions and make a decision with you before the hike.

All these trails are very scenic and have varying levels of difficulty, but all of them drop quickly off the rim into the lower canyon.

These are all educationally oriented, so your guide will give you a wide variety of information concerning this spectacular geologic formation.

Our Rim Top Sightseeing Tours will visit our favorite scenic spots along the south rim, offering spectacular views across the main corridor and the north rim which is at certain locations 18 miles across!

This is a great way to visit the canyon for a day, and just maybe it will motivate you to come back and join us at the bottom for an overnight excursion on one of the many adventures we offer or a scenic camping trip on the remote north rim.

This "small group format " trip includes the following:
  • Box lunch/water
  • Ground transportation
  • Professional guide/personalized attention
  • Park entrance fees
