Calling all backpackers to the Grand Canyon! Come join me on this 3-day backpacking adventure in the United States‘ most famous national park!
The Grand Canyon is an American treasure, and is located in the state of Arizona, which is in the southwest part of the country. Famous for both its natural beauty and anthropological preservation, it is a wonder to see and experience.
On this classic backpacking route of the Grand Canyon, you will get to experience the highlights that the national park offers, over the course of 3 memorable days. We will begin our trip descending 7.5 miles into the base of the canyon so that we can walk along the bright blue Colorado River and enjoy the spectacular red rock of the canyon. We will then rise early the following morning to enjoy the cooler temperatures while they last and hike 4.5 miles to the Indian Gardens, which preserve relics of the Havasupai Indian community. We will then again rise early the following morning to hike 4.8 miles on the Bright Angel Trail in order to finish our trip in the South Rim.
This trip is a great adventure to have on a long-weekend! It is also of an intermediate level of difficulty, making it an excellent excursion to experience as a family (or as an individual or small group).
Request to book this trip if you have always wanted to hike within the Grand Canyon!

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.
