Future Vacations
Rafting through the Grand Canyon
My next
vacation will be an 8-day adventure, rafting through the Grand
Canyon
in the Colorado river. It starts at Marble Canyon not
to far from
Lake Powell
where the Colorado river starts and ends 280 miles at
Lake
Mead. It is the only
package that travels the full length of the Grand
Canyon. This 8-day, 7 night adventure few will ever
experience.

Grand
Canyon National Park
I also plan to do a lot more adventure hiking inside the Grand Canyon.
There are many more hiking trails I want to explorer
and experience the
adventure. Hiking inside the Grand Canyon was the best
hiking I've ever
done! Few people have been to the Grand Canyon, even
fewer have hiked
down inside. The real beauty of the Grand Canyon is down
inside.
The Trails I want to hike are:
Tanner
Trail
Beamer Trail
Escalante
Route
New Hance
Trail
GrandView
Trail
Tonto
East Trail
Clear Creek
Trail
Deer Creek
Trail
Thunder
River Trail
Havasu
Canyon
Marble
Canyon
Phantom
Canyon
Haunted
Canyon
I already have several huge extended backpacking hikes planned inside the Grand Canyon that
will take 20 days, 19 nights.
I have at least four 20 day hikes planned and each is well over 160 miles
through the Grand Canyon. These will be
the biggest and longest hike ever! The best
hiking I've ever done was inside the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon
is so different than other wilderness areas.
The range of scenery inside
the Grand Canyon is incredible.

Located in the Rincon Mountains in Tucson, AZ. Saguaro
National Park has
many high elevation adventure hiking trails reaching elevations

each other.
The Trails I want to hike are:
