After spending many years at Grand Canyon working as both a park ranger and backcountry guide, I am happy to share my extensive knowledge with you, the newest Grand Canyon adventurer.

I've rafted all 277 miles of the Colorado River, hiked hundreds of miles of canyon trails and explored remote 4x4 roads to find the best hidden campsites along the rim. My Grand Canyon Guru 101 Guide highlights the best that Grand Canyon has to offer, with something that everyone will enjoy on the list. Find the best adventures, food, overlooks, drives, hikes, hotels and insider tips using my 101 Guide.
