The Grand Canyon has long been regarded as one of the most
spectacular places on earth! Millions of visitors flock to Grand Canyon National
Park every year to see the magnificent cliffs and valleys formed so many years ago by the
Colorado River. The Grand Canyon is the most studied geologic landscape on earth, and
for good reason. Standing on the edge of its 4,000 foot cliffs, you will marvel at how nature
could have ever created such a stunning place!
Most people who travel to Grand Canyon National Park just take pictures and look at it. But
at Backcountry Found, we think you should do more than just see the Grand Canyon, you
should actually experience it. What better way to get to know this beautiful marvel than with
a guided backpacking trip to the canyon bottom? Backcountry Found leads several annual
trips to Grand Canyon National Park, following a variety of different trails.
