Description

Hike the South Kaibab trail in the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. The classic trail leads us out on a ridge to Skeleton Point, allowing 360-degree views on the canyon.

Each step along the trail features fantastic views as we follow the exposed ridge into the depths of the canyon. The stunning landscape makes it one of the most photographed trails in the United States.

Beginning with a steep descent on the upper layer of rock we pass Ooh-Aah Point (named after the common reaction) that gives wonderful wide views. Then we continue to Cedar Ridge, a beautifully exposed section opening up the entire canyon landscape, before passing Skeleton Point, where we witness the first view of the river.

Because of the popularity of the area, expect to be in the company of other hikers in the beginning of the trail. But we will also experience long stretches of solitude as we hike deeper in the canyon.

A great aspect of the trip is that the beautiful landscapes are easily assessable. Meaning the trip is open to most people. However, please note that we will cover the distance of 3-6 miles (5-10kilometers) that will take approximately 5-7 hours to complete.

Reserve your place now for a stunning canyon experience along the South Kaibab trail in the Grand Canyon National Park.

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.
