A journey through the Grand Canyon can be life changing. At the very least, it is the vacation of a lifetime. The Canyon offers many gifts: a chance to slow down and connect with the world around you and within you; hikes, from short and easy to long and strenuous, into side canyons ranging from desert dry to tropically lush; camping in unimagined comfort under the Milky Way; interaction with a diverse group of guides and passengers; adrenalin pumping white water; long stretches of peaceful floating surrounded by imposing Canyon walls; insights into the geologic history of the planet in a real time geologic museum; stories of those who came before us; five star restaurant dining with unparalleled views; and memories to last a lifetime.

The company for which I work is Canyon Explorations and Expeditions. If you want to go on a trip with me, you must first send a deposit guaranteeing a spot on a specific trip. Then you can send a letter requesting Charly Heavenrich on the crew. Please note that Canyon Explorations cannot guarantee that they can schedule me on a specific trip. However, they will certainly take your request into consideration when making up the schedule.
