3-Nights Arizona Grand Canyon Phantom Ranch South Rim Hiking

Challenge yourself to a short but incredibly sweet adventure, hiking from the South Rim down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up the next day with a well-earned night in the comfort of Phantom Ranch in between. You'll cover 17 miles on two of the park's most scenic corridor trails, descending almost 4,800 feet along the spectacular South Kaibab Trail to the banks of the Colorado River, and climbing back up to the rim on famed Bright Angel Trail, enjoying classic Grand Canyon views the entire way. Although the hiking can be demanding at times, this trip provides a fantastic opportunity for very fit hikers to enjoy a truly immersive experience in the Grand Canyon wilderness.

Highlights:

• Hike two sensational trails to reach the floor of the Grand Canyon and return
• Rest at the renowned Phantom Ranch instead of camping between your hikes
• Learn about the canyon's rich geological and natural history from exceptional guides

You will need to be in excellent shape so you can carry your large daypack weighing 15-25 pounds for 7 miles (4,780' elevation loss) down to Phantom Ranch and 10 miles (4,300' elevation gain) back up to the rim of the canyon the next day, maintaining a 2+ mile per hour pace.
