Hiker's Special

We designed these trips with hiking in mind. We add a day or two to our standard trips to allow more time to explore the Grand Canyon on foot. These trips are typically offered in April when the canyon temperatures are cooler. The cooler temps allow for more extensive hiking but be prepared to dress warmly for the rapids.
