Conquer The Canyon®
The Original and Unsurpassed Non-Profit Fundraising Hiking Program
Welcome To The Grand Canyon

Are you ready...

Each year millions of people travel to Arizona to see the crown jewel of the North 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 so close that you can feel its power beneath you, yet so open and vast that only your imagination can cover its distance and capture its magical beauty.

Best of all, you can put this power and majesty to work to bring help and hope to millions of people where you live, throughout the US and Canada and even the world. Are you ready to Conquer The Canyon in support of your favorite charitable organization?

Conquer The Canyon was created in 2003 by The Walking Connection and is the original and largest adventure hiking program in Grand Canyon today. We developed this exciting adventure specifically to help non-profit organizations raise funds in support of their missions and at the same time provide their fundraiser's with an exciting and rewarding experience at one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon. We are proud to tell you that since its inception, more than 3300 hikers have participated and together raised more than $17,000,000 (USD) to help conquer Leukemia and Lymphoma and Arthritis! And that is just the beginning! More organizations and hikers are joining Conquer The Canyon everyday! Are you ready to Conquer The Canyon?

Are you ready for a very rare experience. Less than 1% of the millions of visitors to Grand Canyon National Park each year ever travel its trails. Still fewer experience it with a trained expert Grand Canyon Guide. With Conquer The Canyon, you have the opportunity to join this exclusive group and do both.

There is a walk, hike or wheelchair accessible adventure to suit everyone! From the most difficult and longest trails into, out of and around the rim of Grand Canyon, we offer the only program that provides challenging adventures so that all who wish to participate, can! "Will it be too challenging for me or will it be too easy?" Check out our FAQ and Trail Description pages! We designed this program to meet all of your interests, fitness levels and abilities. Several days at the Grand Canyon on a Conquer The Canyon adventure will leave you with a lifetime of stories to share with your friends and family.

Conquer The Canyon has teamed with organizations like The Canadian Diabetes Association, The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, Shelter, Inc., of Contra Costa County and The Cancer Research Institute to bring you exciting Fall 2009 and multiple 2010 Conquer The Canyon Adventures! And more are on the way! Inside this website, you can learn more about each of their programs as well as get contact and sign up information directly from us and each respective organization.
