Private red rock experience

The South Rim, the way it should be seen

A full day at the Grand Canyon's South Rim — caravan-style, in the privacy of your own vehicle. We trade the crowded shuttle stops for quiet viewpoints, and trade the rushed checklist for time to simply stand at the edge of two billion years of stone.

Along the way Jenny weaves together the canyon's geology, its deep human history, and the long relationship people have had with this land. You leave understanding the canyon, not just photographing it.
