The Grand Canyon is filled with side canyons to explore and vistas to photograph. Plus, you get all the fun of careening down the Colorado River’s famous rapids in between. Hiking focused expeditions are offered in April when the temperature is mild and the canyon’s Sacred Datura, Crimson Monkey Flower, Broom Snakeweed, and other flowers are in bloom.
Experience the full canyon from Lees Ferry to Whitmore Wash in 12 days or choose a half canyon trip (6 days in the Upper Canyon or 7 days in the Lower Canyon) if you have a more limited schedule.
