EPIC FAMILY MEMORY, UNFORGETTABLE

5.00Our guide Kevin gauged our group’s abilities naturally and timed it all just right so we could enjoy a meal they provide while we enjoyed the sunset deep in the canyon. He said only 1% of those who visit the Canyon go that deep and si many miss out on emersing themselves into the majesty of the natural wonder. They provide hiking poles, backpacks, water and generous snacks/supplies. We wouldn’t have been as courageous without an experienced guide to go quite as far where most people don’t venture nearing sunset. We had the whole canyon to ourselves and it was incredible to share with our 7 year old. It was just the right amount of challenge to tap into one’s strength and focus. The feeling, the experience we will cherish always. Incredible family time.
Epic Hike

5.00Jon hosts a fabulous (but somewhat strenuous) 3+ mile hike down into the Canyon to incredible views of vistas for hundreds of miles as well as down to the Colorado River. Jon is incredibly well prepared with backpacks full of everything that you need (including hiding water along the trail!). He has done this thousands of times and is very knowledgeable about all things Grand Canyon. As the sun set, the shadows were spectacular and the colors amazing. Jon also has great locations for pictures and he is a very particular photographer which produces great shots!
The Best experience at the Grand Canyon

5.00Jon gave us an unforgettable experience hiking below the rim. Having an experienced guide with intimate knowledge of the terrain and safety precautions was a great value to us, as was the personal 1-to-1 attention afforded in a private tour like this. Jon came prepared with backpacks, snacks, dinner, and hiking poles. He took amazing photos and took care to make it a great experience. The views were truly phenomenal, and dinner was awesome! This hike truly exceeded all our expectations.
A MUST DO sunset hike!

5.00We had a wonderful sunset hike into the canyon with our guide Kevin. He was so knowledgeable about the geology and different layers of the canyon, maintaining a great pace while offering up info about the wildlife we observed. Our 13-year old absolutely adored this hike too, thanks to Kevin’s positive energy and enthusiasm. We were well equipped with plentiful water & snacks, and hiking poles and backpack. Our dinner deep in the canyon was delicious too!
A “Must Do” hike into the canyon!

5.00We had a wonderful hike down into the canyon with the best guide - Kevin - who was patient, knowledgeable and motivating! Fun facts, plentiful snacks & water, and a delicious dinner before we trekked back up to our home base several hours later. Our 13-yr old son said it was his favorite hike ever, thanks to Kevin and his expertise and positive energy!
Awesome day in the Grand Canton!

5.00This experience was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Kevin, was so friendly and especially great with our 8-yr old. He brought everything we needed. He had a delicious dinner for us in a beautiful spot, and kept us at a very manageable pace. So glad we did this.

5.00The Sunset Hiking Adventure was the perfect way to make the most of our one day experience in the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Cristy, gave us an unforgettable adventure. There is something truly magical about watching the sunset and climbing out of the canyon under the night sky. Every encounter with this company was top-notch. They are so thoughtful and attentive to individual needs to ensure a perfect experience. Our snack bags were loaded with quality selections customized for our group's varied dietary needs, our "lunch with a view" was terrific, and Cristy was continually ready and willing to make hike accommodations for any limitations. 100% recommend this trip. The experience + service you get with Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes is well worth it.
Amazing Grand Canyon Experience

5.00An amazing experience. Everything you need is provided for you, backpacks, hiking poles, water and food. All you have to do is show up. Christy was a tremendous guide and especially wonderful with our 9 year old daughter. She was extremely knowledgeable about the canyon and tailored the hike to how far we wanted to go. We had some great views and even saw a bighorn sheep. This was the highlight of our weeklong trip and a lifelong memory for our family. Would highly recommend to anyone.
We had a fantastic time...
