The Experience

Before You Go

Start early to beat heat

Summer temperatures can spike; request an early pickup and do canyon viewing in the cooler morning hours.

Footwear matters

Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip for rim viewpoints and short uneven trails like Guano Point.

Hydrate and use sunscreen

Two bottles of water are provided, but bring extras on hot days and reapply sunscreen frequently.
