While nearly all of North America reels under hot summertime temperatures, the North Rim, at 9000-feet, offers delightfully cool, high altitudes escape. A raw-cut jewel in the national park system if not one of the most awe-inspiring features on Earth, the Grand Canyon’s incomparable majesty sunders nearly 280-miles of Northern Arizona highlands. No less than two-billion years of the earth’s history is on display here in the vermillion cliff-faces and golden canyon walls that rise a mile into the sky. From his dory that plied the unbridled Colorado River, early explorer Major John Wesley Powell compared it to “leaves in a great history book.”
The tour operator chooses well-maintained public campgrounds with scenic vistas and comfortable arrangements. You’ll move seamlessly from one day of your trip to the next, camping outdoors and enjoying wildly healthy, delicious homemade meals. The majority of selected campgrounds feature indoor facilities and showers. Conversely, in more remote backcountry camping scenarios, they’ll provide portable toilets and private solar showers.
Camping gear may be rented or you may bring your own. All of the camping gear is tested and hand-chosen from top manufacturers to ensure you get a good night’s sleep. The camp gear package includes a tent, sleeping pad, raised cot, sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner, full-size pillow, and ground tarp.
