One Day Grand Canyon Hike
May 2-4, 2025 / South Rim – South Kaibab Trail – Colorado River – and back!
Due to current trail closures we will go down and back up the South Kaibab Trail. On this very challenging, one day, 14-mile 4,700 foot elevation gain hike. The views from this trail are framed by massive cliffs as we descend to the Colorado River. Because of the challenging nature of this hike, only experienced hikers in very good condition will be considered for this trip. Just being here will be a treat, as will be the jaw-dropping views of the Grand Canyon. Add to this the soul stirring opportunity to raise money to put a well in Budaka, Uganda, and you have a bucket list experience. Are you in?
