can be carried out by most people who are relatively fit and able.<\/strong> -for any neophyte hiker. It is a multi-day trek but you don't need to be an athlete to complete it successfully.<\/p>It can take an experienced hiker a day to get to the bottom and back, but if you have the time - sometimes in short supply on our trips - try to plan your hike for three or more days. You'll get the most out of the experience, no doubt.<\/p>
To plan the route, you can read some of the many books available on hiking in the Grand Canyon<\/strong>. There are also videos\/DVDs available and any of these resources will help you get an idea of the best trail for your visit to the Grand Canyon.<\/p>No products found.<\/p>

If the trek you have in mind is not a circular trek, you will be asked to consider the problem of where to leave your car; or more importantly, how to get back to your car<\/strong> if you start from the canyon on, say, the south rim, and your car is parked on the north rim. The distance from the south rim to the north rim is only about 16 kilometres as the crow flies, but it's a 350 km drive! Some hikers exchange car keys with a group walking in the opposite direction. If you don't consider this option, public transport will return you to your point of origin.<\/p>You can choose between a guided tour of the Grand Canyon or a self-drive tour. If you choose to go on your own, don't forget to take a good map<\/strong>. There are many different maps available, so make sure your map covers the trails you want to walk plus the campsites.<\/p>\n
