Backpacking in the Grand Canyon is like climbing a Backpacking in the Grand Canyon is like climbing a mountain in reverse. You start with a big descent and end with a difficult climb. But the view is more than worth it! @cookdykeman Tag a friend in the comments you want to hike with in the Grand Canyon! #tsxchallenge #grandcanyon #backpacking #adventure #backpackingadventures #escalanteroute #grandcanyonchallenge
The Grand Canyon isn’t just stunning views and r The Grand Canyon isn’t just stunning views and roaring rivers. It’s also full of slot canyons, rock slides and caves. We try to take our participants to the most remote nooks and crannies of the Grand Canyon. One of our favorites is 75 mile creek on the Escalante Route. Don’t worry it’s much shorter than the name implies! Now is a great time to plan a spring adventure. Take a look at the trip planner on our website to sign up! #tsxchallenge #grandcanyon #grandcanyonchallenge #backpacking #escalanteroute #adventure #hikeaz #grandcanyonnationalpark

It isn’t the altitude but rather the scree and r It isn’t the altitude but rather the scree and rock slides that make Mt. Goddard such a challenging climb. They also make summitting all the more satisfying! The more trips we have run to Mt. Goddard the more we have come to realize it is a world class experience. Hence the Mt. Goddard Challenge will be a unique trip TSX runs rather than a “variation” on the Hell For Sure Challenge. More to come and more options to climb Goddard in 2022! Join our mailing list to stay up to date on the trip updates and new routes coming out next year! #tsxchallenge #backpacking #mtgoddard #thebeast #mountainclimbing #adventure
