Grand Canyon Backpacking Tours

Four Season Guides started with Grand Canyon backpacking trips and it’s still dear to our hearts. Our expert guides know the Canyon intimately ad are always eager to share their passion for it with our guests. We offer everything from overnight beginner hikes to 6 or 7-day off the beaten path adventures. We will outfit you with just about every piece of gear needed for your trip, pack and prepare all the delicious meals and take care of all the transportation and logistics. You just need your camera, clothing and a sense adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Utah Backpacking Tours

The canyons of southern Utah offer fantastic opportunities for solitude and discovery for those willing to strap on a backpack and head out into the wilderness. From the canyon mazes of Canyonlands National Park to the towering walls and cavernous alcoves of the Escalante, you can delight in multicolored rocks layers, beautiful creeks and waterfalls, stunning natural arches and the starriest night skies imaginable.

Yosemite Backpacking Tours

Yosemite’s remarkable landscape features breathtaking mountains, deep valleys, majestic meadows, ancient sequoias, wild rivers, massive granite domes and much more. Our Yosemite backpacking tours visit the most sought after icons of the Sierra Nevadas: Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Cathedral Lakes and Vogelsang Peak…to name a few. Come and see what those before you found so awe-inspiring and deeply compelling. Our Yosemite guided hikes have become a favorite of our many loyal guests and we’re sure they will provide you with endless fond memories.
