Great time touring the GC! - So glad we chose this tour company! Went through Kaibab Nat’l Forest and saw elk, raven, squirrels, and deer. Learned a lot about the habitat, history, and local people/campers before entering into the Grand Canyon. The guide asked if we preferred to see nature more than buildings, so we made 3 stops instead of the scheduled 2. Tons of photo opps and the guide had answers to all of our questions.
