    We feel so fortunate to have scheduled this day hike with Only Grand Canyon Hikes. We had Kevin as our guide and he was truly fantastic. He was so engaging with our kids (6.5 and 10) and they felt so accomplished after finishing the hike. This hike was absolutely the highlight of our trip to the Grand Canyon! Thank you Kevin and Jon

  • Most memorable way to experience the Grand Canyon for the first time!

    I was somewhat skeptical and apprehensive about signing up for this hiking tour with my 12 and 10 year old but I’m so glad we did it! Christy was a fantastic hiking guide and made it fun and engaging for us the whole way. She kept us at just the right pace for us out of shape parents and kids did so well. This was truly the best way to experience the Grand Canyon with the family that I’m certain they will never forget.

  • Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes is the only one to consider!

    We had a great time with Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes. Jon (owner) was great with communication, and Kevin (our guide) took great care of us. Kevin tailored the hike to our needs, and supplied us with a full bag of snacks, a headlamp, a great fitting backpack, water, frozen Gatorade (truly amazing when you are hot and tired), and made us a tasty chicken salad wrap for dinner at sunset. He explained the various levels of rock as we passed them and pointed out a few cool details we would’ve missed without his insight. We felt safe and well cared for and would totally do this hike with this outfitter again. Jon has been doing this for 28 years and his hike showcases the best places to experience the canyon below the rim. It’s a very different experience below the rim, I highly recommended it!

  • Awesome Grand Canyon Hike

    We had an amazing experience hiking the South Kaibab Trail down and back with Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes. From the start, their communication was excellent and made us feel well-prepared and excited for the hike. Our group included a mix of beginner and experienced hikers, as well as an athletic 8 year old, and the experience was fun for all of us. Our guide, Jon, was absolutely fantastic. He took care of everything. He drove us to the trailhead and provided all the necessary gear, including water, backpacks, snacks, and trekking poles. The hike felt very manageable thanks to how well everything was organized. What really stood out was how Jon tailored the hike to our abilities. He clearly knows the canyon inside and out, leading us to incredible viewpoints and photo spots away from the crowds. Along the way, he kept us informed about what to expect, which made us feel comfortable and confident the entire time. One of the highlights was reaching O’Neill Butte, where Jon made us delicious chicken and vegetarian wraps. Between the great pacing, expert guidance, and perfect weather, the hike down and back up felt totally doable and incredibly rewarding. Because of our wonderful experience, we can’t wait to go back and try hiking all the way down to Phantom Ranch. We highly recommend Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes for anyone looking to explore the canyon in a safe, personalized, and truly enjoyable way.

    Kevin helped our family have an unforgettable day in the canyon. It was cold and windy but with his calm and confidence he expertly led us all the way to Skeleton point and then made us the best lunch ever. I cannot recommend this trip enough. Truly the highlight of our vacation. First rate from start to finish and we felt so lucky to have Kevin as our fearless leader. He kept the five of us on track, safe and upbeat. Just go!

  • Exceptional Guided Canyon Hike

    Lynne B,Mar 31, 2026

    - Review from Viator

    5.00

    One of the best hiking experiences of our lives! Our guide and company owner, John, provided every thing we needed- poles, packs, snacks , water, and a delicious trailside dinner. John was extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the trails, and provided guidance on how to best utilize poles and navigate the terrain. Hikes are tailored to the group’s ability and skill level. He even showed us the best photo opportunities and took some amazing photos of our group. We even experienced an unexpected citing of a Big Horn sheep, who seemed to pose for photos. Would highly recommend Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes. We will absolutely use them again on our next trip down the canyon. Worth every penny!!
