Hiking Guides, Mule Rides & River Trips

If you're interested in mule rides, visit my South Rim Mule Rides or North Rim Mule Rides pages for more information and links to the reservation sites. A father and daughter team, Bryan and Kelli Millican took an overnight mule ride to Phantom Ranch and shared their photos with me. See their slideshow here.

If you are looking for tours and guides that provide day hiking and backpacking trips, visit Hiking Guide Services.

Bike rentals and tours are now available on the South Rim as well. Information can be found on the Transportation page.

If you want information on commercial river companies that run the Colorado River through Grand Canyon, please visit my River Concessioners page. If you are interested in taking your own private river trip, visit the Private River Trips page.

You'll also find information from Grand Canyon's local authority, Dr. Tom Myers, on River Trip Safety. If you are getting ready to take a river trip, be sure to watch the Grand Canyon National Park Orientation Video available on Google Video. This 40 minute video includes some beautiful scenery as well as extremely useful information.

Grand Canyon doesn't have an airport serviced by any major airlines, so transportation can be difficult. You can find out your options on the In-Park Shuttles & Transportation page.
