The Experience

The day starts at your resort, vacation rental, or residence, where a naturalist guide collects you in a private luxury SUV or high-roof van during the 6 to 7 AM window and heads north across the high desert. At the South Rim the itinerary flexes around your group: Mather Point, the Yavapai Geology Museum, Bright Angel Trailhead, and El Tovar, with the guide setting the pace and filling in what you are seeing. You walk as much or as little as you like before the return drive and door-to-door drop-off.
