"Expert-led day hikes and backpacking trips take you below the rim with a range that spans from the beginner-friendly, six-hour "Meet the Canyon" outing to a 10-day "Hermit to South Bass Backpacking" traverse. Winter and spring are some of the best times to go thanks to cooler temperatures and minimal crowds, and the guides—many of whom have lived, worked, and studied at Grand Canyon—are not only full of fascinating facts but also help visitors connect with the landscape and understand the canyon’s cultural and natural significance, fostering a deeper appreciation of this iconic place. Their mission is to get more people to venture below the rim, and bigger below-the-rim excursions this winter and spring even include Phantom Ranch and Horseshoe Mesa-focused trips." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
