Itinerary
On the Day of Your Tour
You will meet at Deer Valley Airport on the morning of your tour.
Your guided hike into the south rim of the Grand Canyon begins with a series of switchbacks on the South Kaibab Trail before arriving at Ooo‐Ahh Point. At this aptly named lookout point, the landscape opens up to afford breathtaking 360‐degree views of the Grand Canyon. Next, we will continue on until we reach the picnic area at Cedar Ridge, dropping almost 1,200 feet in elevation and descending through more than 40 million years of geological history. This scenic trail traverses gradually along a canyon ridge allowing for unobstructed views and excellent photography opportunities. As we descend through the layers of rock strata, expert hiking guides will educate you on the Grand Canyon’s rich history, ecosystems and geology. After a break for a delicious picnic lunch, we will explore Cedar Ridge before beginning our ascent back up the trail to the rim and the Yaki Point overlook. From there, we return to the Grand Canyon airport for the chartered flight back to Phoenix.
