Description

Hike the spectacular Grandview Trail on the south rim of the Grand Canyon National Park.

Offering incredible natural views and the deep solitude of the canyon landscape, the trail also passes rich cultural history, as we hike an historic indigenous route built for the Last Chance copper mine in 1890. Although extracting 70% pure copper, it never become profitable and the tiresome work dried up in 1916.

The remnants of the mine and its machinery remain part of the landscape, culturally preserved in the US National Register of Historic Places.

We’ll then hike to Horseshoe Mesa before dropping westwards to Cottonwood Creek, a remote camp that is hidden between the cottonwood trees. Its spring-fed creek is the perfect place to seek solitude and stargaze.

Next up is the Old Grandview Trail, the stunning 6-mile round trip to the Colorado River. An ancient trail that was built in the 1800s by a miner, has been left unmaintained for half a century. It’s since become a hidden route and is only known to those who call the Grand Canyon their second home. It is the perfect trail to seek the ruggedness of the canyon and reach beyond the trickle of crowds.

Due to the generally rugged terrain in which we are going to hike along, as well as the trail being loose and steep in places, it is recommended that you have a good level of fitness. Also, you should be comfortable with hiking for several hours without many breaks.

Reserve your place now among the majestic landscape of the Grand Canyon. Follow the Grandview Trail on this 3-day trip and experience one of the world’s premier natural attractions.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
