Rim to Rim Grand Canyon

Backpacking Rim to Rim in Grand Canyon is a magical experience. Each October and November conditions in the Grand Canyon are ideal for this sort of trip. Dropping off of the North rim on this guided Grand Canyon Rim to Rim backpacking trip we will experience the N. Kaibab trail while hiking surrounded by the fall colors. The hike to the Colorado River from here travels along Bright Angel Creek past yellow Cottonwood trees and emerald green Ribbon Falls, a spectacular side trip that we take along the way. Two options exist while hiking out up the South Rim. Our three day trip, for fit hikers only, involves a full day climb out of the Grand Canyon, while the four day trip allows for a camp to be setup halfway up the South Rim where we are able to watch the sunset from Plateau point before bedding down for the evening, hiking out the following day. It is best to call us by June 1st if interested in October, and July 1st if interested in November as the Grand Canyon quickly books

Exploring the Grand Canyon

Almost 5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park each year.  Sometimes finding a parking space can be more than a little tricky.  While this sounds like a headache, keep in mind that most visitors will never descend into the canyon and instead will visit the Bright Angel Lodge, get back in their car and drive off to the next stop on their windshield cruise of the desert southwest.  While just seeing the canyon can be awe inspiring, why not explore a bit of it?  If you think that it’s too challenging, or you’ve heard horror stories of people getting lost in the vast desert expanses within the canyon, fear not!  CenterFocus Experiences is a permitted guide/outfitter that will be more than happy to help you make the most of your visit to this incredible natural wonder.  Sometimes just getting a permit to do the Bright Angel, South Kaibab, or Rim to Rim hike can be a daunting task, or next to impossible.  Many times we have extra spaces available on our trips so we’ll be able to get you down and out exploring in no time.  Each CenterFocus Grand Canyon guide is a medically trained Wilderness First Responder and has logged hundreds of miles in the canyon.  They can answer any information you may have about the history, geology, flora or fauna while you’re out.  If backpacking is a little too much, perhaps a day hike on the Hermit trail would be a little more up your alley?  This is a great way to get away from the crowds on the corridor trails, and see some incredibly preserved dinosaur foot prints.  The Santa Maria Springs are a great place to stop for lunch and snacks before heading back up the hill.  Whatever you are looking for, CenterFocus can help you with, even if you just need advice.  So come out and visit the most incredible natural wonder of the world!  We hope to see you out there!
