"Just thought I would drop you an email to let you know how we liked our hike. It was great. Frank was excellent and knowledgeable and personable. He made the trip very enjoyable. He took time to do a short hike into a canyon where he knew Nat (10 year old son) would be able to find some calcite crystals when he found out that he likes rocks and crystals, and helped him locate and identify fossils, etc. and generally took pains to make the trip special for us. And when Isabelle looked like she might not be quite up to the hike out, Frank made sure that she was able to get a horse out. We would definitely want to hire him as a guide again in the future."

Step 2
This trip is ideal for families or recreational hikers wanting to camp below the rim and visit the Colorado River without carrying a heavy backpack the entire trip. It is also a great way to see the Canyon in the hotter summer months!

Share your plans with friends and family by using an ecard!We leave early on the first day and head directly down the trail to the famous Indian Gardens campground where a large artesian spring gushes directly from the canyon wall. This will be our home 3000 feet below the rim for two nights. We will explore the area and enjoy the natural beauty during our stay. On the middle day, we will dayhike down to the bottom of the Canyon and visit the Colorado River enjoying the creek along the trail as we go before returning to our campground for the night.

As we prepare to ascend on the final day 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:
  • Professional backcountry guide
  • All necessary gear and equipment (you will be carrying a backpack in excess of 30lbs)
  • All meals during camp trip
  • 2 nights tent camping
  • Pickup and return / Hilton Garden Inn Flagstaff
  • All entry and permit fees
