The Experience
Before You Go
Stay Hydrated in the Desert Heat

Trails within the parks include uneven and rocky terrain—choose footwear with good grip and ankle support.
Prepare for Long Travel Days
Expect extended sitting on the bus; bring snacks, a light jacket, and entertainment for comfort.
Respect Park Safety Guidelines
Maintain distance from canyon edges and follow posted signs to avoid accidents in high-exposure areas.
