Trip Motif - Hiking & Walking

If your cruising speed is “one step at a time,” walk this way. Whether you’re a casual walker or a die-hard hiker, we have a trip and a trail—slot canyon, beach, boardwalk, backcountry byway—for you. Over our 20-year history we’ve learned that going afoot is the best way to truly get off the beaten path, so all of our Guided Group Journeys incorporate daily walks. That said, hiking and walking are most central to the GGJs listed below.
