20/20 Grand Canyon Experience: The Hike of a Lifetime on ABC 15 Sonoran Living

It's only when you truly get out of your comfort zone that you start living life to the fullest. You will be surprised on what the human body can accomplish if you can get the "mind" to get it started! There's a lot of beautiful places in the world and the Grand Canyon happen to be one of them! Yes, many have visited but only a few have descended 7 miles to the bottom. The experience is out of this world but it does take preparation, training, and guidance to do it right. And that's why I created The 20/20 Grand Canyon Experience. I have over 10 years of experience preparing, training, and guiding people down and up the canyon safety. @ We take everyone through "3 Phases" Phase 1: Preparation: It's all about knowledge! And that's what we do. We have 2 group meetings where I present the team with all the do's and don'ts, education on snacks and meals, training for emergency, clothing, etc... Phase 2: Training: As a group (if you are located in AZ) we do 3 simulation hikes to train the group on pace, equipment, and snacks. Everyone also gets a fitness program to follow to prepare the body for the physical demand that the Grand Canyon brings. If you are out of state, we send you all the work that needs to be accomplished. Phase 3: Guidance: There's nothing more reassuring than having the trainer that's been helping you the last 3 month bring you down the canyon. The trust and relationship has been established and every works as a team. Visit our site for more!

The Park comes in at a massive 1,904 square miles, while Rhode Island is around 1,212 square miles. In some places, the canyon itself is over a mile deep and ten miles across.

I’ve very proud and honored to be bringing down my 6th group next weekend for another Rim2Rim, South to North Rim! I’ve been working with this group for a long time. They were actually part of my 3 Day Grand Canyon Backpacking last year! They had such a great experience that they decided to take it to the next level! And here we are! Their first Rim2Rim! It’s what I love about this job! The Grand Canyon has a way of challenging your strength and will power! While at the same time, show is how beautiful it is!
