Route
Our main Adventure will be to hike from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon via the South Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch for a refreshing lemonade and early lunch break. We then continue through the bottom of the canyon to “the box” for a few miles before turning back to Phantom Ranch, crossing the Colorado River, and up the Bright Angel Trail for an appx 25 miles/5,000 gain. Checking off an amazing bucket list accomplishment!
Sedona will have a 10+ mile hike. More details to come.
Scottsdale will offer some well-deserved relaxation!
Floating the Salt River on a warm Spring Day is one of the most refreshing rewards after so many days of hiking! It’s a leisurely paddle with opportunities to cliff jump and spot wild horses grazing on grasses in the river.
Goldfield Ghost Town feels as if you are stepping back in time as you peruse through shops, photographing, grabbing a refreshing beverage & soaking up the desert landscape with the Superstition Mountains in the background.
