SPRING 2012 - "HIKER'S SPECIAL"
You will enjoy the Canyon in a whole new way as the Spring bloom adds even more color and beauty to an already amazing landscape. All three trip types will allow you more time for additional side canyon hiking and discovery in the milder temperatures of April. Average day time highs range in the mid-80’s and night time lows in the mid-50’s. Some additional physical conditioning is required for the mandatory 7.5 mile hike in or out on the 6 and 7-day trips. (NOTE: This is the only time we will offer these three trip-types during the 2012 season.)

We accept Visa or MasterCard over the phone and can start processing your reservation with your payment. If you need to send a check, we can put a courtesy hold on your reservation long
enough to receive your deposit. After your reservation has been processed, you will receive a
confirmation invoice with your trip date, the monies you have on account, the final payoff date and
amount as well as the details of our cancellation policy.
Getting Ready To Go
In February of each year, our staff will start sending out your detailed Trip Information Packets.
Each packet contains all the vital information you will need including, what we provide, what we suggest
you bring, frequently asked questions, logistics and other helpful information for your trip. It is
important to READ YOUR PACKET CAREFULLY! Save it, and make a point to read it again as you
begin packing for your trip. Our staff will happily answer any questions that need further
clarification by calling our main phone number at 1-800-477-7238.
