This was an amazing day for me, my wife and my daughters aged 14, 12 and 9. John and Kevin handled everything. All we had to do was show up and enjoy. We were on the trail 15-20 min after we were picked up. If we did this on our own it would have taken us several hours to buy all the snacks, water, gear, and lunch and we would have had to park and walk a decent distance to the trail. Kevin and John kept the kids engaged and entertained and took amazing pictures of us.

Great job from the moment we booked until we were dropped off back at our hotel. John provided a short information sheet in advance and we were ready for our adventure. A couple of days before he communicated “shorts weather”. Timely pick up by Christy and Kevin. Picked up one other couple-they hiked with Kevin and we hiked with Christy. Both guides were well qualified with certifications well beyond needed for our hike. Downhill, we went past Cedar Ridge (bathroom break) and stopped for lunch. If my foot slid, she checked on me immediately; even while talking, she was listening for clues about a potential problem. Christy told nice stories about the canyon when we stopped for water and snacks. They provided an appropriate day pack, two big water/Gatorade, and trekking poles. Christy carried lunch fixings (chicken wraps with Romaine, cucumbers, avocado, tomato, and an Italian dressing) and prepared them while we took in the views. Uphill, she adjusted the pace. She told more stories while we rested…so nice…and always made us feel that we were doing GREAT! What a great day!

Our hike on the South Kaibab with Kevin was fabulous. It snowed overnight unexpectedly and continued to snow as we descended into the canyon. We almost canceled due to the weather and my anxieties but Jon the owner was very encouraging and assured us we would be safe. Kevin came prepared with crampons and hiking poles and it was clear he knows the trail very well. He knew just how to help me overcome my fear of heights and he guided us down much farther than I thought we’d be able to go. The weather cleared and we enjoyed the amazing views and splendor the canyon offers. An amazing day and we highly recommend Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes. You won’t regret booking with them!

The overall experience was great. Christy was a great guide that was very friendly. She answered all our questions about the Grand Canyon and the surrounding areas. The equipment provided truly made the it possible to enjoy our hike. The provided hiking poles and crampons were truly necessary at the start where the ice had yet to melt. The provided drinks, snacks, and lunch served us well. We truly enjoyed having lunch out on the trail. There is no way we would have been prepared for this hike on our own. It was truly a unique experience that was well worth it.
