"Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit" – Edward Abbey

After years of feedback requesting a “GCE Hiking Trip”, we have added one to our 2015 schedule! New this season and scheduled for August 4-12, 2015, join us on our very first GCE 9-Day Hiking Expedition!

If this sounds like a trip for you, please join us as we venture out on hikes that require a little extra preparation and ability. You’ll need to be able to handle the necessities of hiking in the Grand Canyon, bringing additional water and being aware of the often steep and rocky terrain that we’ll be hiking in and taking into account that the weather is always a factor.

As the first GCE Hiking Expedition, our goal will be to concentrate on those special places that take additional time to reach and that are not necessarily on the menu of our normal 8-Day Expeditions. If you are interested, we do encourage you, as our guest, to understand the ups and downs of Grand Canyon hiking. Our main concern, of course, is your personal welfare, after that, it’s all about the hiking – to the most incredible sights….
