Each day the Grand Canyon National Park will play host to over 5,000 vehicles full of anxious and eager excursionists. Sadly over 90% of these folks will end up frustrated, confused, and eventually lost. The problem? They have no idea where they are going! Instead of spending all morning in long lines and crowed parking lots, join us! We'll make your Grand Canyon hiking experience pleasurable, fun, and incredibly easy.
Description
We'll pick you up at your hotel and give you a first class ride all through the Canyon. Enjoy the comfort of riding in a reclining captain chair with large windows for excellent views! Spend all of your time looking at the beautiful scenery and wildlife! Don't concern yourself with watching the road or following a map, we know the canyon inside and out. Our experts will show you the canyon in a better light than you can find. These naturalists truly know all that this canyon has to offer, and you won't want to miss what they can show and teach you.
Hiding in the depths of the Grand Canyon are many of the world's most beautiful gems. Explore springs, maidenhair fern, crimson monkey flower, and wild grapes in abundant portions of shaded and cool landscape. Discover how much beauty and biodiversity resides around the mouth dropping water sources that stem from the Colorado River. The adventure will start off with a slightly steep trail that will level out shortly thereafter, allowing you to view in awe the vast beauty of the Grand Canyon.
