Description
We created this Grand Canyon hiking tour for guests who want to have an adventurous, outdoor experience of the Grand Canyon combined with the comforts of a hotel on the rim each night. Highlights include three challenging day hikes whose locations span over thirty miles of the South Rim, premier lodging at the famous El Tovar Hotel overlooking the Canyon, delicious dinners at the South Rim, and a “sprinkled in” tour of the best Grand Canyon museums and visitor attractions. All fully included in the trip cost!
The day hikes will take you more than half way down into the Canyon, each illustrating the dramatic diversity of this magical landscape. Enjoy BIG Grand Canyon views, fossils, mining history, Native American history, and geologic phenomena. During the three days we’ll “sprinkle” in a tour of the best museums and visitor attractions before enjoying our evening meals. After dinner we’ll retire to our hotel, where you can simply step outside to enjoy dramatic sunsets over the Canyon!
