No, traveling to these two sites are in two different canyons and it takes time to get to each
location.
Canyon conditions is a major factor that affects the timeline of your tour, which is beyond our
control. Snowmelt and the monsoon are natural events that can affect your tour timeline. Another factor to keep in mind is that there is a lot to see and our guests get caught up in taking photographs or lingering longer than recommended at sites, or browsing vendors and the guide has to start skipping sites to stay on time.
We recommend reserving additional time before your tour date so we can ensure that your guide will be available. During the high season of Spring and Fall, most guides will have a tour already booked for the afternoon if you’re on a morning tour. We suggest calling or emailing to let us know you’re interested in additional time so that we can note your reservation.
Yes, we offer discounts to educators, health care workers, first responders, military and veterans. 1. The person requesting the discount must be the person on the reservation; 2. present a work or military ID to receive the discount; and 3. sign-off on the backcountry permit with the guide.
We offer a full refund of your tour if you cancel 48 hours before your tour date. If you cancel
within 48 hours, a $75.00 cancellation fee applies. If there is flooding that occurs and it’s not
deemed safe by either the National Park Service or by our Tour Manager, we will issue a refund per your payment type. Your safety and those of our guides are of the utmost importance to us.
