Description

Join one of our seasoned guides for the adventure of a lifetime in America’s most iconic national park!

Your four-day trek to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back again begins with an exhilarating hike down Grandview Trail, which affords many impressive vistas of the canyon and surrounding landscape, to Horseshoe Mesa. Once there you will be able to explore the Cave of Domes.

We then continue our descent into the canyon, passing through the Tonto Plateau above the Inner Gorge. From here, we will be gazing up at the majestically massive canyon walls and towers above us — a sight very few people will see in their lifetimes!

The next leg of our trip takes us along the bank of the Colorado River and into the breathtaking Granite Gorge and then onto Red Canyon. Red Canyon’s lower layers are composed of Hakatai Shale, which is the most brilliant crimson of any geologic formation in the Grand Canyon.

Finally, we will ascend out of the Canyon to the South Rim along the New Hance Trail, which will afford us all one last glorious look into this beloved landmark.

We advise that participants are in shape before we begin the trek, which is about 20 miles in length with an elevation loss and gain of 4,900 and 4,300 feet, respectively. Due to the immense size of the canyon, temperatures will change throughout the duration of our trip, so please dress accordingly.

Book now for the trek of a lifetime through some of the most beautiful and out-of-this-world terrain that you will find anywhere!

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.
