Jon was a fantastic guide. Excellent communication from him and Kendra, making planning and preparation straightforward from info and reservations, in the weeks leading up to the hike, and finally the day before. On time pick up at our hotel, easy entrance to GC National Park. We were well and expertly equipped at the trail head. Poles, packs, hydration, snacks, etc., and a really nice lunch midway on the hike. Tasty and healthy fuel we needed to hike back up to the rim. Jon was very knowledgeable about hiking and the Canyon. As it was a private hike, he adjusted to our physical abilities. Hiked down to Skeleton Point and back for a total of almost 7 miles. As a distance runner, I definitely had the stamina for the hike, but move at a different pace from my mid-20’s children. Jon made appropriate adjustments. He also took beautiful photos of us. This was our first visit to this part of the country and we had only one day to spend at GC. This was undoubtedly the right way to spend our day. Being down in the Canyon is a different experience from looking down from the rim. All of us would do this again. Thanks Jon!
