How fit do I need to be?

The best thing about hiking tours in the Grand Canyon is that there are incredible options for all skill levels. For beginner hikes, if you can walk around 4 hours with little elevation gain, you are good to go! Intermediate hikes in the Grand Canyon will see a little more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to five hours. Advanced hikes are full-day treks, meaning at least 8 hours, with steep descents and challenging switchbacks. Keep in mind, the weather in summer can be very hot and you’ll also be packing a daypack filled with water and other things you’ll need throughout the day. Hikers who venture into the interior of the Canyon from May through September can expect daytime temperatures to regularly exceed 100°F (38°C), and may even climb above 120°F (49°C) during the hottest days in the summer. Such conditions will challenge even strong and fit individuals, so be ready.

Dave and the crew at Allstar Grand Canyon Tours were fantastic. Dave tailored the day around what we wanted and made some great suggestions. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the GC and the local indigenous tribes. We would highly recommend a guided day even if your an accomplished hiker.

Leah Scoggins about All-Star Grand Canyon Tours on Google Reviews

I can’t say enough about our guide, Andrew, with Allstar GC Tours. My family took multiple private tours over a nine day period in AZ & UT and this day was by far the absolute best. Andrew took time to learn what we valued, our skill level and our interest and tailored our experience on the fly. It was a day we will never forget! Beyond amazing!!

Kristy Robb about All-Star Grand Canyon Tours on Google Reviews

We had the best time with our All-Star Grand Canyon tour guide. He made our trip so memorable and gave us a very personalized experience. He was knowledgeable, personable and easy to talk to. This was our favorite part of the trip by far!
This private tour guide is WORTH EVERY PENNY! We avoided crowds and were able to see a few things off the beaten path that we wouldn’t have ventured to by ourselves.

Annie Hasselbalch about All-Star Grand Canyon Tours on Google Reviews

11/10 recommend. Cody was on time, great personality and accommodated everyone in our group. He was full of info in regards to the canyon, the history of this area and every single detail was planned. Not one thing to worry about besides lacing up your shoes!!!

Katie Taylor about All-Star Grand Canyon Tours on Google Reviews

One of our family’s favorite travel days ever! Incredible experience I cannot recommend more highly. Andrew was amazing and so kind and patient with our kids (11, 9 and 7). He was so knowledgeable and customized our day to what we wanted to do and learn. He went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable day. We would have never experienced what we saw without this tour. The lunch was delicious, healthy and so good and the sunset with charcuterie was phenomenal. Thank you Andrew for an awesome day!
