We’ll continue our adventure towards the Grand Canyon by stopping by Page, AZ the home of Lake Powell! After a sandy hike, you’ll have the chance to marvel at Horsehoe Bend, a magnificent and famous cliff-band. We will explore Marble Canyon, camp by Lake Powell, and spend time swimming in the pristine blue lake surrounded by red-walled sandstone! In the morning, we’ll kayak through a sandstone slot canyon before beaching our boats to hike through the famous Antelope Canyon! You’ll be astounded at how gorgeously lush and green this desert oasis truly is!
Accommodation: Camping

Are you ready to experience first-hand one of the seven natural wonders of the world? We begin our trip to the Grand Canyon at the South Rim, where we’ll get a close-up view of the valley below. We’ll take an educational walk with a local guide to learn about the geology and history of the area. We then will hike below the rim for a totally different perspective of the immense canyon. After learning all about the immense, 277-mile-long gorge, we’ll camp at the rim and wake early the next morning for a sunrise viewing.
Accommodation: Camping

The next morning we’ll travel to one of the only Lava River Caves in the United States! We’ll chat with a ranger and hear about the unique formation of this desert cave and the bats that live there before exploring within its walls. Armed with headlamps and extra layers we’ll walk into ever cooler conditions with temperatures dropping as low as 42 degrees Fahrenheit even in the heat of summer. From there we’ll travel through parts of Route 66 passing through the small towns that inspired the Disney movie Cars as we head towards another section of the Grand Canyon. There we’ll see a different view of the “Big Ditch” by walking on a glass bridge extended over the canyon and ziplining across an entire section of The Grand itself! 
Accommodation: Camping

We’ll round out our trip on the water, packing up our dry bags and launching our canoes in at the Hoover Dam for an overnight excursion of the Black Canyon. Paddle through wilderness and solitude, stopping at sandy beaches, colorful caves, plentiful coves and a number of secluded hot springs and the stunning and aptly named Emerald Cave. Wildlife is plentiful here, so keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles, coyotes, and desert bighorn sheep bounding among the craggy walls and up slot canyons.
Accommodation: Camping, 1 night of hotels
