A backpacking trip differs significantly from a normal camping or hiking excursion in that it involves hiking away from roads, trail heads, parking lots…etc. with everything we need on our backs.
The days are full with simple yet stunningly fulfilling activities: hiking, fishing, ascending canyons, swimming, eating, resting, appreciating where we are, connecting with fellow travelers. The joys of backpacking are not easily conveyed in words – ultimately, the only way to truly understand it is to experience it yourself.
With no other overnight guides working on the Mogollon Rim around Happy Jack, AZ, this is your unique opportunity to access nature away from the crowds in a breathtakingly gorgeous canyon.
