Adventure Tips
Stay Hydrated Throughout the Tour
Carry at least 2 liters of water per day; desert air and dry canyons quickly dehydrate even in spring or fall.
Wear Sturdy Footwear
Supportive hiking shoes with good grip are recommended for uneven trails and canyon floor trekking.
Bring Sun Protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat protect against intense sun exposure, especially in open viewpoints and midday hikes.
Prepare for Variable Temperatures
Layered clothing is best; mornings and evenings can be cool, while days heat up significantly.
