If you like to hike and are in pretty good physical condition, short day hikes into the inner canyon can be a great way to learn more about the canyon. The beauty and majesty are felt more if you get down into the canyon so you can really appreciate it.

We went on a river rafting trip for 7 days with Western River Expeditions and can only say: DO IT! Go see the Canyon from above and from below! There is nothing like! The experience is nothing like anything else you can do! You see things you would never see from above! Great walks, flora and fauna, fantastically colored rivers,... More

solitude and spectacular desert scenery; well established routes with current information from NPS Rangers and some patrols make this a (relatively) safe and extraordinary hiking experience. Am a repeat visitor and hope to continue - never get tired of the play between landscape and light. Time your visit to avoid brutally hot conditions if you can and pay attention to... More

This gives you a whole different perspective on the Grand Canyon. I've hiked down to Indian Gardens, and I've rafted the Colorado River through the Canyon. Both, trips of a lifetime! But never take the Canyon for granted! Plan your trip well, & take every safety precaution imaginable.

If you can carry a backpack and get the permit, this is a real... More

We used Grand Canyon Expeditions out of Utah as our expedition guide company. What a fantastic experience! As there were only sixteen of us (strangers who became friends), we were in 2 large,...

Both were challenging but manageable by taking our time,resting, and drinking plenty of fluids. Unforgettable views around every corner. The campground is located on the creek which was refreshing after the hike... More

Everybody's seen pictures of the Grand Canyon and has been ooh-ing and aah-ing over them. And those lucky enough to be able to visit the Grand Canyon are mostly just overwhelmed, since it's a sight like no other, really, and the pictures never do it justice; simply not possible. The vast majority of the masses that flock to the Grand... More

Getting into the inner canyon and away from civilization is a wonderful experience but one needs to be prepared and in top physical shape. Do your research!
