These special departures feature the full grandeur of the Canyon as we hike from its North to South Rim, crossing the mighty Colorado River en route. Stimulate your senses and revel in the Canyon's mystery as we enjoy the rim vistas and explore its incredible depths. Beginning with hauntingly beautiful Antelope Canyon, this is the trip of a lifetime that few will experience.
Inn Highlights : The North Rim's Grand Canyon Lodge cabins are a short stroll from the canyon rim and the renowned El Tovar on the South Rim is listed on the National Historic Register. With rustic architecture and fascinating history, these classic lodges provide the perfect setting for the start and end of our epic journey. In between is the oasis of Phantom Ranch, the ideal spot for rest and relaxation at the bottom of the Canyon.
