About the USA Grand Canyon Trek
This trekking challenge is an exceptional experience, to a wondrous land hidden beneath the rim of the majestic Grand Canyon. The American trekking challenge begins through Sedona, with its popular red rock formations. You will trek down to the bottom of the Canyon and camp with the native Havasupai Indians.
You then start the real challenge and descend over 945 metres (3,100 feet) into the mind blowing Grand Canyon following an ancient Indian trail that leads you into the breathtaking Havasupai Indian Reservation. The bright blue green lagoons, huge waterfalls and scenery within the reservation are by far some of the best our planet Earth has to offer.
Camping within this reservation you then embark on a series of day hikes that will enable you to explore this stunning 'hidden world'. Once you have triumphantly hiked out of the canyon, you then transfer to Las Vegas for a celebratory dinner.
