Grand Canyon Hiking Tours

Our Grand Canyon hiking tours explore a vast and rigorous landscape and embrace a spectacular array of geological and historical wonders.

This rugged and remote region, where bold plateaus and multi-hued cliffs run for distances that defy human perspective, offers some of the best hiking in the world. Expanding over 277 miles in length, averaging 10 miles in width and over 1 mile deep, it is understandable why this great chasm is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Even today, this unspoiled natural landscape remains a frontier. A Grand Canyon hiking tour offers an incredible opportunity to explore shimmering waterfalls, ancient ruins, unimaginable vistas, and spectacular rock formations. Choose from a range of guided backpacking trips, mule-assisted camping and hiking tours, lodge-based tours and basecamp adventures. Experience a Grand Canyon hiking tour with Four Season Guides for the unforgettable vacation of a lifetime!
