Our tour departs from the hostel lobby at 9AM. After traveling through the beautiful pine forest, you'll arrive at the Grand Canyon Village around 10:30. Our first stop is the historic Bright Angel Lodge, which sits directly on the south rim of the canyon.

The lodge, constructed of log and native stone, was designed by architect Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter. It opened its doors in 1935 and has been housing travelers ever since.

Ok, enough with the history. It's finally time to get your first glimpse of the magnificent Grand Canyon!

Next, it's time for lunch. Although lunch is not included with the tour price, we'll make a stop along

the way for lunch supplies.

Ready?? 1...2...3...OPEN YOUR EYES!

GC winter
WOW, one of the most spectacular views in the world!

Trail smiles
Onward, to the Kaibab trail, where you can embark on a hike below the rim with a trained guide (weather permitting).  You'll experience the Grand Canyon from a different and wonderful perspective! Those who do not wish to hike can relax and take in the view from the top.

*Make sure to have a large water bottle and sturdy shoes for the hike.


Canyon Tower

We complete our day with a stop at the Desert View overlook, home of the watchtower built in 1932. Here you can enjoy a treat from the snack bar, pick up a souvenir from the gift shop and take in your last view of the magnificent canyon.


Sadly, it's time to say good-bye to the Grand Canyon and head east.  We’ll travel through a portion of the Navajo Indian Reservation and the Painted Desert and return to the hostel at approximately 7PM. You’ll be exhausted but satisfied!


Definitely a day to remember!

Don't be fooled by expensive day tours offered from Las Vegas; you'll spend most of your time in a vehicle traveling to the west rim and very little time enjoying the canyon. It's definitely worthwile to see the Grand Canyon from the south rim where the views are much more spectacular and there are many different places to stop, hike and explore.

AND...it's only a 1.5 hour drive from Flagstaff!

Top 3 reasons to choose our tour...

1) OUR EXPERIENCED

  GUIDES HIKE INTO

THE CANYON WITH YOU!

Our permit allows our guides to hike into the canyon with our guests,

whereas most other tour operators are required to stay above the rim.

Our Tour guides:

* Are trained in wilderness first aid

*Are educated on the geology, human history,

and flora & fauna of the Grand Canyon region

* Have years of backcountry experience

2) WE OFFER THE CHEAPEST PRICE FOR

A TOUR FROM FLAGSTAFF!

IT'S NOT MUCH MORE MORE THAN A SHUTTLE AND IS

MUCH LESS THAN MOST OTHER DAY TOURS.

If you take the shuttle you are left spending your day figuring out where to go and

how to get there, and you won't have the opportunity to travel the length of

the rim from the south entrance to the east exit as we do.

3) YOU WILL SHARE THE DAY WITH LIKE MINDED TRAVELERS RATHER THAN A BUS LOAD OF RANDOM TOURISTS!

Our tour customers are primarily guests from both Flagstaff hostels

who enjoy sharing lively conversation and travel stories.

Cost
Only $85.00Without a doubt, the best deal in town!

Includes entrance fees and bottled water
Visa, Mastercard, Discover and travelers checks accepted
