Trip description promises a lot, and then delivers more. John took us on a hike of a lifetime, and entertained us the whole time. This is a rigorously fun experience. High expectations will be met, and in our experience, expounded upon. Grand Canyon is on the top of the list of places to experience in the world, and this is a highly recommended way to do it.
We had a wonderful hike...

We had a great time on our hike with Christy! We appreciated the door to door service with pick up at and drop off at our Airbnb in Flagstaff, and thoroughly enjoyed our well paced, beautiful scenic day of hiking on the Kaibab. The well stocked snack bag and fresh canyon wrap lunch were a plus! We have great photos and great family memories of our Grand Canyon adventure.
