Arizona Backpacking
THE GRAND CANYON, ROCKS OF THE AGES
October 12-18, 2008 • $1,700
 There
is no canyon on Earth like the Grand
Canyon! We will explore this great wilderness, beginning and
ending on the high pine-clad North Rim, varying the route from
year to year. Though the mighty Colorado River defines the inner
canyon, The Grand Canyon is actually a diverse array of broad
and narrow side canyons, some with gorgeous clear streams and
waterfalls. There are also big open mesas and enormous rock walls
of kaleidoscopic color. Views are incredible plus a diverse array
of high desert wildlife grace this great chasm. We rate this trip
strenuous, and its base is Cedar city, Utah. This trip
is offered only in even-numbered years.
