I've been hiking quite a bit this summer and I saw this trail as an option. I have a pup and she…read moreisn't the most athletic so I needed to find something she could handle. I definitely would call this a beginners trail, it's not super challenging, mostly flat and easy to access. Because of these things, the trail does get crowded I've heard, but we were lucky when we went and it was pretty quiet, though we were there on a weekday morning. As you go along the trail, it is of course beautiful because we are in Northern Arizona, but the unexpected beauty of this giant red rock wall that appears almost out of nowhere is incredible. There are also caves that are super cool and fun to imagine how they came to be. I had a great time on this hike and would absolutely suggest it for the beginner hiker, considering it is only about 3 miles, or those that just want a great time outdoors soaking in the glory of Northern Arizona.

To see the canyon on both sides, the sunny side and the shaded side was a big difference. I do recommend taking your time going up the stairs because you will be out of breath.

This is a cool place where you can see structures left by Native people (prehistoric culture…read moreSinagua) although there are also artifacts from the Archaic peoples before them who did not reside permanently in the canyon. There is a visitor center and two trails here. The Rim trail at a pretty even 0.75 miles is great for people who want a stroll that follows the canyon rim (out and back trail). You can see the structures from the rim, but it's even better with binoculars. The Island trail is slightly longer at 1 mi, but a steeper 185 vertical feet into the canyon with a whole bunch of stairs at the beginning, and returns the same way. I guess people get too tired to climb back up since there are numerous signs warning of the steep climb back. The trail begins at the back door exit of the visitor center, which they close at 4 pm (the entire monument closes at 5 pm, so they don't want anyone to start the trail and get locked in). Both trails were great and they had informational signs along the way. I really liked the Island trail since you get up close and personal with the structures. The visitor center was standard - offering a gift shop, bathrooms outside, and information about the history and significance of the area. The ranger staffing the information desk was pretty patient with the group of tourists and determining if they were fit to do the Island trail. It's a totally different vibe from the Grand Canyon, so don't expect huge views.

This particular day there was still a ton of snow on the trail, which made following the trail pretty difficult. The views are well worth it and it is a beautiful hike, but anticipate on taking significantly longer than normal. Make sure to pack water and snacks! Best to hit the trail early to avoid afternoon showers at the summit. Also, don't be discouraged by the false summits, nice steady pace will get ya there! Trail is primarily covered/shaded with trees. There is exposure of the elements at the beginning and last mile in a half ish. Happy hiking!

We brought 4 giant water bottles.

I will admit I am not much of a hiker, and still a week later am not necessarily walking the same as I did before I went on this trip, but I will also say that it was worth EVERY second of it. Havasupai Falls alone is enough to make the trip worth it with it's beautiful water falls and pristine scenery, but going on the trip with Walkabout made it 100 times better. Included in the price of the trip is transportation, pack mules to carry your stuff in and out so you don't have a heavy pack on your back, all camping fees and equipment and gourmet meals for the 3 days you are there. Who would have thought we would be fed Salmon, Chicken Fajitas and Chocolate chip pancakes at the bottom of a canyon!! The two guides who took us on the trip were so patient and kind and pushed me limits I never thought I could go. It is nice to know that next time I go to Havasupai with Walkabout, they give you the option of taking a helicopter or horse ride in or out of the canyon!! I am glad I hiked it the first time, but in the future the horseback riding looks fun as well. Overall it was a fantastic trip and I would recommend it anyone and everyone looking for something different, exciting, SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Learned a ton about the landscape, geology, biodiversity, and how to survive in the back country (def would not have survived on my own for a bunch of different reasons).

Thanks again Jeremy and the Four Seasons team.

I was the less experienced hiker and wanted my sister to be able to enjoy the hike without worrying about me. So, I hired Four Seasons Guides for a day hike in February. We had a wonderful experience, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Our guide, Steve, was charming, knowledgeable, very experienced, and took very good care of us. We had our own packs and poles, but he had some on hand just in case. Breakfast fruit and muffins were provided as well as a hot lunch set up as a picnic and snacks for the trail. My sister was anxious to get on with the hike, and I was always stopping to look at the view or ask Steve some random question about canyon geology or history (which he always knew the answer to). Somehow, due to his expertise and great people skills, we both came away thinking we each had the perfect day. Steve took away all the worry about the weather, route, wildlife (there were elk on the trail and several donkey trains passed us) and made the hike much more fun and interesting. Also, other experienced local hikers that we met on the trail let us know that Four Seasons Guides were the best and we were in good hands. If you want a fun, worry free day I highly recommend them.

I found out when we started that it wasn't run by Wildland but subcontracted it out to another tour company. The quality decline showed and I would be hesitant to book with them again knowing this. As an initial matter we found the subcontractor offering the same trip on-line for $1100 Canadian (Wildland charged me more than double that). I am concerned about the business practices of charging me double for a trip that Wildland turned around and subcontracted for much less (probably well below 1100) and the quality showed. Some of the issues were that the food was pretty poor quality. First day lunch was a tub of hummus, pita and some veggies. TOther lunches were just the same but with no hummus (and some jerky). Dinners were better but still basic fare and below other trips (I've done NOLS so I am not comparing it to this. The guide marched us through the hikes skipping lunch. So we basically moved quickly finished around 2-3 and then had lunch at 3:45. Obviously having lunch around dinner time is a problem and I feel we missed a lot. The gear was OK but not great and lesser quality than other trips. My tent was very basic and only fit a sleeping bag (I mean only a sleeping bag -- it was about 2 and a half feet wide and 6 feet long -- like a coffin really). To be clear, the guide was nice enough and wanted to help and other than the above issues fine but not as good as other guides. Banff is beyond beautiful. It's a must for camping.
