The quintessential family vacation – the Grand Canyon is right on top of everyone’s list. It is impossible to forget your first glimpse of the Canyon with its breathtaking depth and its colorful expanse. Our week-long hiking exploration focuses on a remote and incredibly beautiful part of the Canyon known as Havasupai, meaning “people of the blue-green waters” and named for the traditional people of this area.
We travel north from Phoenix with a stop for a warm-up hike to Slide Rock natural water slide before reaching the Grand Canyon’s south rim and the trail leading to our private base camp below. On our descent, we pass through the Havasupai Indian reservation and swim beneath the brilliant blue-green waterfalls that add an unusual color to an already remarkable desert palette. Each day is full of exhilarating hikes, fun water play in the turquoise pools (rope swing included!), relaxing in a hammock in the shade of a cottonwood tree, or solving “criddles” with the best of them. Few people travel to the bottom of the Canyon – those who do create memories for a lifetime!
