We've been waiting for 3 long years (no thanks, COVID), but it's finally happening... camping at the GRAND CANYON and backpacking to HAVASUPAI - one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world! Not only will we watch the sun set behind one of the world's grandest canyons, we'll also hike under a desert sky of stars, swim in bright turquoise waterfall pools, and nap in the shade of giant red rock cliffs. 5 nights, 2 huge bucket list places, 1 incredible adventure! Registration price represents a 50% deposit of the total cost. |
