All-Star Grand Canyon Tours, does provide backpacking tours on the corridor trails, but we encourage hiking in the less traveled areas of Grand Canyon. We believe hiking the Grand Canyon away from the crowds, is the way to fully enjoy your Grand Canyon Backpacking Experience. Please call us to discuss the best options for your Grand Canyon Backpacking Trip.
For your protection we highly recommend that you consider purchasing at least a basic travel insurance package. Due to the unpredictable nature of adventure travel and the unforeseen circumstances that can occur, this would be a wise course to consider for your medical and financial well being as well as peace of mind while away from home.
