Conquer
The Canyon®
Each year millions of people travel
to Arizona to see the crown jewel of the American landscape - The
Grand Canyon, and though seeing is believing, you can do
much more than look! You can experience it on a personal level,
up close, one step at at time! At the same time, you will bring
help and hope into the lives of thousands of homeless people and
families in Contra Costa County.
 SHELTER,
Inc. of Contra Costa County and Conquer The Canyon have joined forces
to bring you Hike For SHELTER - a 3-night/4-day hiking adventure
that will provide you a lifetime of stories to share with your friends
and family.
In May of 2010, the
Hike For SHELTER Team led by Karen Leffler and
Pam Appel will be traveling to Grand Canyon National Park
– one of the seven natural wonders of the world - for an exciting
and challenging hiking adventure.
Hike For SHELTER
participants will have the opportunity to experience the magnificent
beauty of the Grand Canyon. From the rolling hills of the rim to
the steep descents into the Canyon of up to 3,000 feet, participants
will hike the trails led by The Walking Connection's best expert
guides who will interpret the intricacies of the geology, history,
flora, fauna and environmental zones of the canyon.
If
YOU are willing
to train and prepare yourself for an exciting adventure then you
have come to the right place. By yourself, with a few friends, a
corporate team or a hiking club, you can support SHELTER,
Inc. of Contra Costa County and their mission while positively
changing your own life.
The Conquer The Canyon

to help prepare you to meet the personal challenges of one of several
levels of hikes at Grand Canyon - from the easiest walks
along a paved path to the most difficult trails
into and out of Grand Canyon. There is a walk or hike to suit everyone.
Walking Connection professional Grand Canyon Guides will lead small
groups of just 6 - 13 hikers. This hotel based adventure provides
