The Grand Canyon: Learn! Plan! Go!

Charley Schuerholz presents The Grand Canyon: Learn! Plan! Go!;

Have you thought about what it would be like to hike one of the World’s Seven Natural Wonders? Do you crave a challenging hike in an extreme environment? Have you thought about planning a Grand Canyon trip (or a trip to any national park), but find the year in advance reservation logistics confusing?

Hiking the Grand Canyon is much more than strapping on a pair of boots and hitting the trail. With knowledge, desire and proper planning, the Grand Canyon will be one of your most memorable adventures.

Come learn: Traveling to the Grand Canyon, finding the lodging you need, the logistics of coordinating hiking permits with housing (above and below-the-rim), hiking gear, hiker nutrition, physical training, North rim vs South rim, shuttle/duffel services, personal safety and more.

Come see: Photos of hikes below-the-rim and hear stories of our Grand Canyon hiking adventures.

Take away: Informative website links, contact information to make your reservations, lodging insights and the knowledge you need to successfully plan your trip.

Not ready to commit to a hike? Live vicariously during this seminar with many below-the-rim photos of the Grand Canyon and stories of adventure. Learn about activities for non-hikers in your group. Open forum – come discuss and share. Everyone is welcome.
