$1,048
Sign-up by: Friday, Jan. 9
Pre-Trip Meeting: Tues., Jan. 13 at 6:30 PM in the Outdoor Rec. Center
2009 marks our 16th trip to the canyon since 1992. For the twelfth year, however, we will get there in style, via air to Phoenix and charter bus to the canyon. We are planning on two hiking groups, both of which will hike a 25-40 mile trail the entire week, depending on permits. Needless to say, the Grand Canyon is incredibly beautiful, awesome and spectacular. Designed for the experienced backpacker, we will allow enthusiastic beginners on this trip. Everyone who goes must be in good, physical shape by the time we leave. Participants are expected to attend four more Pre-Trip Meetings in 2009, as well as a Pre-Canyon Hike. Note: this trip will not be offered again until March 2011.
Cost includes all transportation, in-canyon food, hotel on both ends of the trip, group equipment, permits, camping and entrance fees. Unfortunately, the price of this trip is at an all time high due to all the transportation costs. If, by chance, the fares go down, we will issue refunds.
Space is limited to the first 13 people that sign up, so don’t delay.
