ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.

We loved our hiking in Supai and Sedona in October. So much that we're signed on for the Marble Canyon trip Oct 13/13. Hope we'll be seeing both Mikes again! (:

I am enrolled in the April 19, 2013 trip. Anyone else out there on this trip? I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm also signed up and walking a lot to prepare. Look forward to the experience and meeting the other participants.

Looking forward to meeting you. I mostly run, rather than hike, and I've been doing a lot of hilly trails recently. I did do a couple of hikes in Grand Canyon last April (2012), but I've not gone all the way down to the river. It should be great!

Hey Michelle, Jeff said that you were planning to "like" us on FB and post some photos of Phantom Ranch. We'd still love to see some if you have the time.

I am on the March 2 trip. I am flying into Flagstaff @ 5 PM that day. It appears the last shuttle out of Flagstaff is at 4 PM. Does anyone know other options for getting to GC or is anyone traveling through Flagstaff that I could catch a ride with?

Hopefully you will find a ride. Other than that, renting a car in Flagstaff to get up to the Canyon or taking the first shuttle the next a.m. might be options for you as travel up to the Canyon is somewhat limited.

We are leaving one week from this Sunday as my son and I are driving x country as part of our adventure. We will have lots of time to bond before we hike and hope to take in another national park or two.
