Grand Canyon Trek

This trekking challenge is an exceptional experience, to a wondrous native land hidden beneath the rim of the majestic Grand Canyon. We begin our American trekking challenge with an acclimatisation trek through Sedona, with its popular red rock formations, also known as Red Rock Country. We then descend over 3,100 ft into the Grand Canyon following an ancient Indian trail that leads to the breathtaking Havasupai Indian Reservation - the bright blue green lagoons, huge waterfalls and scenery within the reservation are some of the best on Earth. Camping within the reservation we then embark on a series of day hikes that will enable us to explore this stunning 'hidden world'. Trekking permits are limited and the only access to the reservation is by foot or helicopter - this is a very exclusive and special challenge and we urge you to join us - you will not be disappointed - we promise! Once we have triumphantly hiked out of the Canyon, we then transfer to Las Vegas for our celebratory dinner, and late nights all round we expect! You have probably never experienced a place like the Havasupai Indian Reservation. You may just leave your heart there!
