Andy was great!! Calm, outgoing, full of knowledge, interested in helping, great to be around. We enjoyed the hike!

Elise Naramore

From start to finish, we had a terrific time. Andy was friendly, knowledgeable, interested, and anticipated our needs. He took lots of candid shots for us, made sure we rested adequately, and made conversation. It was a long, rewarding day and I definitely want to do a longer hike with him next time.

Could we do it ourselves? Probably. But it wouldn’t have been as interesting and we might have pushed ourselves past safety without our guide’s advice. The trail was terrific, and the views… well, it’s the Grand Canyon so of course it’s stunning. Well worth the money. We never felt rushed or cheated. It was great to have someone else drive and make decisions about where to get food and how long to rest. Was an absolute great day!

Andy took us to Bell Rock to experience the vortex. He was a great guide and the hike was catered to us! Loved it and thank you Beth for loving your customers!

Tracy is so knowledgeable, she makes each event special. My daughter and I have taken the Grand Canyon Stroll, the Vortex tour and a trip to the cliff dwellings, the well and to the ranch. I have taken two other friends to her Grand Canyon Stroll. So worth it! So all in all I have “trekked” with Tracy each of my 3 recent trips to Sedona!

Things to know

  • What you get on this adventure:

    • An experienced, local hiking guide with extensive knowledge of the area
    • A full day of guided hiking
    • Water and picnic lunch
    • All necessary high-quality gear (backpacks, trekking poles, etc.)
    • Permits and entrance fees

    What’s not included:

    • Transportation
    • Accommodations
  • There are hiking and backpacking tours in the Grand Canyon to suit all skill and fitness levels, so even if you’re not an experienced hiker, there’s a trail for you. Your guides will help you choose the optimal terrain, and have the best possible hiking experience in the Grand Canyon.

      • For beginner hikes, if you can walk for three to six miles with little elevation gain while carrying a daypack, you are good to go!
      • Intermediate hikes will see more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to eight miles while carrying a full daypack.
      • Advanced hikes are full-day treks with steep descents and challenging switchbacks. Keep in mind that the weather in the summer can be very hot in the Grand Canyon and you’ll also be carrying a full daypack for your hiking trips, so expect a challenging day even for the most avid hikers
  • Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:

      • Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 25-40L bag)
      • Hiking poles — optional
      • Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity)
      • Lightweight hiking boots or shoes
      • Spare clothes for layering
      • Waterproof rain jacket
      • Sunhat
      • Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.)
      • Headlamp or flashlight
      • Sunglasses
      • Camera — optional (but recommended)

    Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

  • Group sizes and prices:

      • For these standard tours, the usual client-to-guide ratio is 6:1, but larger groups can be accommodated with additional guides.
      • Pricing is per person, and cost does not decrease as your group grows.

    Min. age requirements:

      • Anyone over the age of 12 can join these day-hiking tours
      • Children between the ages of 5 and 12 may join these day-hiking tours on a case-by-case basis

  • Most people fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which is a two-hour drive from Flagstaff, AZ, where most people stay. Flagstaff is only a 90-minute scenic drive away from the Grand Canyon.

    Your meeting location will be based on the hike you choose, but you’re likely to meet your guide outside The Grand Canyon Association Park Store at the Visitor Center at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Depending on the hike, you will then shuttle or follow in your own car to the trailhead. You can also arrange to be picked up from your hotel in Flagstaff, Williams, Tusayan, or in the Grand Canyon Village.
