Highlights
Come experience the original Grand Canyon tourist destination (all the back to 1882), the best kept of the Canyon's secrets, the one and only road to the bottom! This trip provides a rare opportunity to travel to the inner depths of The Grand Canyon, to a unique and isolated location with little visitation. Here, you will be far from the tourist crowds of the South Rim and trips are limited in size to keep it that way. This trip is not for everyone. This is the unadulterated Grand Canyon without the circus to distract you from its overwhelming presence, at once ancient and timeless, awesome in its profound depth and silent majesty. Here the Canyon will speak to you and you can actually hear it.

About Phoenix
Phoenix is Arizona's desert capital, a sprawling Sonoran Desert city of saguaro cacti, museums, mountain parks and year-round sunshine.
Phoenix spreads across the Salt River Valley in the Sonoran Desert, ringed by mountains and dotted with saguaro cacti. Its name recalls the ancient Hohokam canals on which the settlers built. Camelback Mountain, a red sandstone peak shaped like a kneeling camel, rises in the east, and South Mountain Park is among the largest city parks in the United States. The Desert Botanical Garden shows cacti and desert flowers.
Top-ranked sights in Phoenix: Camelback Mountain, Scottsdale Fashion Square , Tonto National Forest.
