- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
The tour was beyond our expectations. Joe Rickardson was a marvelous tour guide. the drive through the Southwest desert landscape was as engaging as the National Parks we visited. My wife and I are in our 70's and the hiking was a challenge. But for seasoned hikers the experience is not to be missed.
