Relax, Challenge and Expand

Phantom Ranch at the Bottom of the Grand Canyon with Jeff and Donna

Relax yourself on a worry-free trip to the Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.  Challenge yourself with a long hike while you take in the splendor of the canyon.  Expand yourself with no driving, fine dining, entertainment, yoga classes, and a rustic private cabin setting.  Imagine hiking to the remote depths of the Grand Canyon.

A rare trip like this on your own must be arranged a year or more in advance with the Natl. Park Service!  Carry ONLY your snacks and water, share a private cabin w/air conditioning, have full hot meals prepared for you.  All you do is hike, relax, rest and enjoy!  Everything else is done for you!
