Just a quick note to tell you that our family had a lifetime memorable hike in the Grand Canyon last friday with Jason. He was fantastic and we would book with you again and will recommend you also. Thank you so much for all your help. We were very pleased and inspired!!

We had unbelievably great time... truly epic ! Everyone can't stop talking about what a wonderful and memorable experience we had individual and collectively. You and your team made it happen and we are grateful. Thanks to you, Jason for making this the most wonderful adventure we've had (so far)!

We had a fantastic day on the tour to the Grand Canyon with Joel. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We definitely feel we had the best tour and day possible. The van was very comfortable and the lunch was great. (We noticed people on other tours looking enviously at our spread with the attractively set out food, table cloth, plates, etc.) THANKS for giving us a memorable experience.

Levels of Difficulty for Backpacking Trips
Listed below are the ratings for difficulty levels of group hikes; Level 1 - least strenuous through 5 - most difficult. Ratings are derived from distance, altitude change, hiker safety and terrain.
BACKPACKING LEVELS
Level 1: Beginner - Appropriate for families with kids, beginner backpackers, etc. Level 1 trips are the most “accessible” backpacking itineraries at Grand Canyon, with low mileages, low-key side hike options, and plenty of opportunity for relaxation. These trips will strictly involve well-maintained corridor trails.
Level 2: Beginner Backcountry - Appropriate for more adventurous families and more active beginner backpackers. Level 2 trips still involve manageable daily mileage, but will be more ambitious overall itineraries, with opportunity for more aggressive side hiking and a little less relaxation. These trips will involve mostly well-maintained, but also some unmaintained trails.
Level 3: Immersive - Appropriate for athletic families with older kids (teens and above), as well as backpackers with some experience and stamina. Level 3 trips will typically be longer mileage, thus covering more of the Canyon landscape and giving the guest a broader overall experience. These trips will involve mostly well-maintained, but also some unmaintained trails.
Level 4: Immersive Backcountry - Appropriate for adult athletes and backpackers with substantial experience and endurance. Level 4 trips will involve longer daily mileages and deeper travel into Grand Canyon’s backcountry. These longer distances will be traveled on unmaintained trails, which creates a more “intense” overall experience, with a high demand for physical and mental resolve.
Level 5: Advanced Backcountry - Appropriate for aggressive athletes and seasoned backpackers only. Level 5 trips involve mid to high daily mileages on the most difficult designated trails in Grand Canyon. High levels of attentiveness, endurance, fitness, strength, and overall athleticism are required.
