Grand Canyon Tour
The canyon lands of Northern Arizona's Grand Canyon are nature's most well
known and timeless creation. Human life is too short to notice the dramatic changes
that have formed the canyon over the millions of years it has taken to carve
the gorges, buttes and crevices of the Grand Canyon. The imposing massiveness
of what is called "one of the seven wonders of the world," lures tourists
to its rim by the thousands. Different from Zion National Park where you walk
on the canyon floor and look up to see magnificent monoliths, at the Grand
Canyon we stand above the rim and peer down into the enormous gap in the earth.

Toroweap (Tuweep) - The Primitive side of the Grand Canyon
Toroweap is in a remote and spectacular section of the Grand Canyon where
the Colorado River flows in full view. The 61 mile backway to Toroweap is not
maintained and is known to puncture tires, so be sure to bring a spare or two.
Make sure the roads are dry and stock up on supplies before you go. Camping is
allowed at the river if you hike down, but obtain a backcountry permit prior
to the trip. There is a primitive tent site, fee free campground at Toroweap.
For more information on the Toroweap Campground call: 929.638.7888 Note: There
are no services at Toroweap.
Hiking Lava Falls: This hike is extremely difficult. Avoid
hiking during the summer since the lava rock has been know to blister legs and
hands.
Directions to Toroweap: From Fredonia, Arizona take hwy
389 toward Hurricane, Utah. There is a road sign 9 miles from of Fredonia indicating
where to turn. The Toroweap road is open in the winter, but if roads are wet
it can be impassible.

arrives at the South Rim in about 4.5 hours. It will leave the South Rim each
afternoon and arrive at the North Rim each night. For reservations call: 928.638.2820.
