Of the 6 million tourists who visit Grand Canyon National Park, less than 1% venture below the rim. Want to know what it’s like to join the fearless few? The rim-to-rim tour is one of the most iconic hikes in the Grand Canyon. Spanning the length of the so-called “corridor”, the trek takes ambitious travelers all the way from the South to the North Rim along a mixture of classic trails and hidden gems. Given its remoteness, variable weather, and extreme altitude changes, it’s a trip reserved for the most tenacious of trekkers. However, those that can walk the walk are treated to profound solitude, spectacular sights, and some of the greatest hiking the Canyon has to offer. Think you’ve got what it takes? Tune in to this FREE WEBINAR! In an hour-long session, hiking guide Sunny Stroeer will teach you everything you need to know about the rim-to-rim hiking tour, from training and preparing for your journey to the gear you’ll need and logistical considerations. Sunny has been guiding people on the rim-to-rim hike for years now, and even holds a speed record on a different, but parallel route. You’ll be in good hands.
