Intermediate Grand Canyon Day Hike - This tour is all about the views and hiking. These tours are tailored to the group as a whole, and your professional and medically certified guide will assess the group's fitness and experience and select the trail and pace to fit. Keep in mind, however, that this hike will still require a decent base level of fitness. Grand Canyon hiking trails are rugged and steep, and the further down you go, the further you have to hike out, so this tour is intended for more experienced hikers. If you are an experienced hiker looking for a challenging and rewarding experience, this tour is perfect for you. You will see some of the most spectacular views in the world and have the opportunity to hike into the depths of the Grand Canyon. Please note that this tour is not suitable for beginners or those with limited mobility.

Advanced Grand Canyon Day Hikes - Advanced hikes into the Grand Canyon are perfect for experienced and physically fit hikers. The distance and duration of the hike will be determined by your guide, based on the group's fitness level and experience. Hikes typically last 8 hours or more and cover 8 miles (13 km) or more. This gives hikers the chance to get deep into the Canyon and experience vistas and terrain that 98% of Grand Canyon visitors miss. If you are up for a challenge and want to see the Grand Canyon in a way that few people ever do, then an advanced hike is the perfect option for you.

Here are some of the things you can expect on an advanced hike into the Grand Canyon:

• Stunning views of the Canyon that you won't find anywhere else
• A challenging hike that will test your physical and mental fitness
• A chance to experience the solitude of the Canyon
• A sense of accomplishment that you will never forget

Please note that advanced hikes are only suitable for hikers with notable experience and fitness.
