Embark on a journey to the Edge of the Grand Canyon in all its splendor.


3000 vertical feet straight down to the Colorado River.  Just the phrase should give you goosebumps.  Be prepared to be completely removed from civilization.  Grand Canyon overlooks do not get any more epic than this.

In the Paiute language any word ending in “Weap” means Canyon.  Toroweap means Dry or Desolate Canyon.  You may in turn “weap” at the sight of this place.
We’ll pick you up at Kanab Tour Company and transport you to the Antelope Valley Road just west of Fredonia Arizona.  It is a 60 mile dirt road that starts out pretty easy and gets rougher and more challenging the closer we get to the rim.  Adventure engaged!

Once we arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to another planet! Freely explore this beautifully unusual area with your guide and learn about the special geology and rock formations that surround you.  Learn about the fascinating geologic layers of the Grand Canyon looking down into 2 billion year old rock.
