Highlight: Bright Angel Trail, sweeping canyon views.

Days 2–3 – Canyon Immersion

We’ll move through the Canyon’s heart, taking in Havasupai Gardens (formerly Indian Garden), the peaceful Rest House, and crossing the Silver Bridge over the Colorado River. You’ll have a chance to visit Phantom Ranch, cool off near Ribbon Falls, and explore the vastness of the inner canyon while enjoying guide-prepared meals.

Highlights: Havasupai Gardens, Silver Bridge, Phantom Ranch, Ribbon Falls, Colorado River crossings.

Day 4 – Climb to the North Rim

Today we make our push to the North Rim, gaining elevation while taking in the changing layers of the Canyon. If timing allows, we’ll visit Plateau Point for one last epic overlook before climbing out. By evening, we’ll watch the sunset over the Canyon walls, celebrating your rim-to-rim traverse.

Highlights: Plateau Point, North Kaibab Trail, sunset at the North Rim.

Day 5 – Shuttle Back & Celebrate

After a relaxed breakfast, we’ll shuttle back to the South Rim, reuniting with vehicles and sharing high-fives before departure. You’ll leave with new stories, deeper connection to the Canyon, and a journey crossed on foot.
