    Group trips : All group trips are decided by a lottery system set by the park. When you sign up, I take care of all the permits, so you don’t have to. The exact date and route depend on the lottery results required by the NPS for Grand Canyon trips.

    Day 1 – Descend into the Canyon
    We’ll meet at the South Rim Village near Visitors Centre for a pack check before stepping onto the historic Bright Angel Trail. Today’s highlight is seeing the Canyon open beneath your feet as we descend to our first backcountry camp under the stars.

    Highlight: Bright Angel Trail, sweeping canyon views.

    Days 2–3 – Canyon Immersion
    We’ll move through the Canyon’s heart, taking in Havasupai Gardens (formerly Indian Garden), the peaceful Rest House, and crossing the Silver Bridge over the Colorado River. You’ll have a chance to visit Phantom Ranch, cool off near Ribbon Falls, and explore the vastness of the inner canyon while enjoying guide-prepared meals. a highlight for many on this day is seeing the rafters gliding past and enjoying the shade while taking in the Dramatic views as we make our way down.

    Highlights: Havasupai Gardens, Silver Bridge, Phantom Ranch, Ribbon Falls, Colorado River crossings.

    Day 4 – Climb to the North Rim
    Today we make our push to the North Rim, gaining elevation while taking in the changing layers of the Canyon. If timing allows, we’ll visit Plateau Point for one last epic overlook before climbing out. By evening, we’ll watch the sunset over the Canyon walls, celebrating your rim-to-rim traverse.

    Highlights: Plateau Point, North Kaibab Trail, sunset at the North Rim.

    Day 5 – Shuttle Back & Celebrate
    After a relaxed breakfast, we’ll shuttle back to the South Rim, reuniting with vehicles and sharing high-fives before departure. You’ll leave with new stories, deeper connection to the Canyon, and a journey crossed on foot.
