| 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!

WOW, one of the most spectacular views in the world!
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.
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.
Well travel through a portion of the Navajo Indian Reservation and the
Painted Desert and return to the hostel at approximately 7PM. Youll
be exhausted but satisfied!
Definitely a day to remember!
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.
