Such an amazing experience with my guide Brittney. She definitely took care of all of us on our trip! Looking forward to future trips with discovery treks!!
Thank you so much for the kind review! We will pass along your words to Brittney. We can't wait to have you back on trail with us! Thank you for trusting Discovery Treks with your Grand Canyon Adventure! -The Discovery Treks Team
Can’t even begin to tell you what a great experience this was! Brittney was amazing and was a big part of why the trip was so great! She took great care of us in so many ways - from leading us on the hikes, giving us pointers, cooking, answering all our questions(trip related as well as many others!) and so much more. Weather was very hot but it didn’t matter - we all had a great time. Food was amazing, gear was great, good balance of hard work and relaxation time. Discovery Treks was very easy to work with and extremely responsive to all questions/emails. We even had to deal with the issue of rescheduling due to the fires on the North Rim but it all went very smoothly. Highly recommend!!!
We are greatfull for your kind review and choosing to adventure with us! We are so glad you had a wonderful time with Brittney in the Grand Canyon. We will be sure to let her know the kind words you said about her and your experience. We would love to take you on another adventure in the future! Thanks again! -The Discovery Treks Team

We did the 3 day Cremation Canyon hike with a trip down to the Colorado River. Our guide Annie was incredible. Very informative, funny, supportive and confident. Also a quick problem solver. The hike was intense, 3 of us in our 60's, but Annie was so positive and inspired us to finish with tons of inspiration and lots of water! Food was delicious, breathtaking scenery and the organization was well done. Highly recommend.

The views and the experience were amazing. Training is critical to enjoying the trip even for experienced hikers. They provided all the gear and it was quality stuff. Our guide, Keenan, was very experienced on this trail and others. He provided tasty meals for picky eaters and kept us on schedule. Recommend you bring an air mattress otherwise their gear list is sufficient.
Thank you so much for sharing! We are so glad you had a wonderful time with Keenan. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We would love to have you on another backpacking trip with us! Until then safe travels and thank you again!
