Conquer
The Canyon®
Hiker and Guest Comments, Facebook Fan Page
Since beginning The
Walking Connection in 1989, we have had the pleasure of leading
people on the most exciting adventures to some of the most exotic,
beautiful and important destinations in the world. From the wonders
of the tectonic motion of Iceland to wildlife of Kenya and South
Africa; from the volcanoes of Indonesia to the glaciers in Alaska;
from navigating the Amazon to hiking the Himalaya from both India
and China, we have personally seen some of Earth's greatest natural
treasures. And few compare to Grand Canyon.
The Conquer The Canyon
Team of more than 60 independent guides, local and Arizona staff
have successfully shared the beauty, history and mysteries of this
grandest of chasm on Earth with more than 5000 dreamers, hikers
and adventurers -- people just like YOU!
Its beauty is overwhelming,
but like every rose, it comes with thorns. Simply, it is one of
the harshness environments on Earth. It is a place where water is
precious and rare, a place where nearly freezing temperatures at
night can turn to 100 degree temperatures in the heat of the same
day. Through the training of our expert guides and development of
our comprehensive program, we are proud to tell you that over 96%
of the people of who visit Grand Canyon with us, provide a favorable
rating of all aspects of our program. Here are just a few things
they have had to say about Conquer The Canyon and The Walking Connection.

enjoyable hike experience for a good cause." Carol B.

guides were excellent – very knowledgeable and allowed for
plenty of silence & introspective time as well as provided lots

a group, without managing the group." Jim and Carol S.
