This tour gives hikers ultimate exposure to the Grand Canyon as it guides you along the North Kaibab trail, revealing some of the Canyon's most exquisite sights. Along the trail, you will stop at Roaring Springs before arriving at Cottonwood Campground. The following day will bring you to Ribbon Falls, a box canyon, and great fly-fishing locations before arriving at Bright Angel Campground. This is the favorite campground for most hikers as it provides places to swim, fish, visit ancient ruins, take photos, and just let the warm sun bathe over you.
The following day brings the group across a suspension bridge crossing the Colorado River, at which point the group will challenge themselves up a steep Devil's Corkscrew to Garden Creek. These marvelous sights will be followed by a passage through sandstone narrows before arriving at the Indian Gardens Campground. Here you may hike Plateau Point providing impressive views from within.
