The adventure was all that we could of hoped for. My wife and I throughly enjoy the people, beauty, and the challenge. The guides were attentive, knowledgeable, and encouraging. We paced ourselves well by stopping regularly for a minute or two allowing us to drink in the canyon's ever changing vistas. The climb out the north rim was a heart pounder at 8000+ feet. If you have the physical conditioning and the desire, it will be one more thing checked off of the bucket list.

My friends are all congratulating me on completing this hard trek. I suppose being 77 has a few people surprised that I would undertake such a venture. The training ahead of time is what made it such a pleasure. The enormity and beauty of the Grand Canyon nullifies any pain from toes jammed into your boots. Wonderful wonderful trip.

Thoroughly enjoyable and elightening. The trip was physically challenging as advertised, but not beyond expectations. The guide and his assistant were intelligent, affable and efficient. I highly recommend this trip if physical abilities allow.
