As you make your way down the trail the sun is rising over the Grand Canyon creating beautiful shadows everywhere. You are in awe at just how big and expansive the Grand Canyon really is! It is one of the most beautiful sights you have laid your eyes on and you soak in the grandiose experience of it all.
After just one night of being with your new travel friends you already feel at home. You realize you have laughed more in one day than you typically do in one week. You feel strong and inspired to contemplate the unlimited possibilities of this life. It is just the beginning of this outstanding journey and you are stoked because you know it’s going to be the ride of a lifetime.
The challenge of this bucket list hike is fulfilling a dream you have had for a long time. You are so glad you said “YES” to this trip!
The Grand Canyon & Sedona are the perfect places to spend 8 days + 7 nights...
Is hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon on your bucket list?
Look no further. We will hike down the South Kaibab trail to the bottom of The Grand Canyon & spend 2 nights at the bottom. Day 2 will be spent exploring the bottom of the Canyon & it’s many sights to see. On Day 3 we will journey back up to the South rim via the Bright Angel trail with sweeping views of the Colorado River. This trip will challenge your body & mind to go beyond what you thought possible.
Are you looking for a unique wilderness experience?
We’ve got you covered. We will hike 7 miles into and 9 miles out of the canyon followed by optional hiking in Sedona to visit the many vortexes in the area. Only 10% of the people that visit the Grand Canyon ever get to the bottom!
Do you want to learn tools & tips to stay injury free while hiking?
Happy to help! Heather will teach you stretches to keep you feeling good so you can hike miles and miles on your trip. Heather wants you to see as much as possible and will help you do just that by leading you in the most effective yoga practices to soothe sore muscles so you are ready for more!
The Venues...
You will spend 1 night near the South Rim, 2 nights camping in The Grand Canyon and 4 nights at a lovely air bnb in Sedona.
Hiking down into the Grand Canyon and spending the night is one of the best trips in Grand Canyon! With two days spent at the bottom this trip offers the ability to see many sights missed when just hiking through rim to rim. You will leave with the best overall impression of the Canyon because it allows one to truly see the diversity of the area. We begin at the South Rim and will descend the South Kaibab trail. As we make our way down this relatively wide and well-maintained trail, the dramatic views unfold with every turn. At the bottom we will camp near the banks of Bright Angel Creek, Cottonwood Camp which offers an intimate and peaceful first evening to enjoy the setting sun on the soaring cliffs.
Day 2 will be spent hiking along the roaring Bright Angel Creek, visiting waterfalls and sweeping views of The Colorado River. For a BIG adventure we can see the wondrous Ribbon Falls, with the afternoon offering the opportunity to explore historic Phantom Ranch & the Colorado River or relax beneath the shady cottonwoods in Bright Angel Camp, our home for the evening.
We then cross the mighty Colorado and continue our trek southward, up Bright Angel Creek Trail with many water stops. Our journey ends on the South Rim on Day 3.
A Grand Canyon camping trip with two days at the bottom is the finest way to experience what this incredible National Park has to offer.
In Sedona we will stay at a high end haven tucked into the heart of Sedona...
For 3 days we will enjoy this gorgeous, spacious high-end home with stunning red rock views, a hot tub, in-ground pool and an outdoor lounging area. It is also conveniently located near hiking and biking trails, vortex sites, restaurants, galleries, shopping and more!
The home provides plenty of privacy and a place to retreat for peace and relaxation. We will enjoy meals and downtime at our little getaway when we are resting from the amazing hikes taken in Sedona.
Views of some of the most famous vortex sites can be seen from the home - Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock and Chapel Of The Holy Cross. You will not be disappointed by this breathtaking retreat that is in the center of town but feels “away from it all.”
The Eats...
While backpacking we will enjoy delicious meals prepared by our guide. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all provided throughout the backpacking portion of the trip. All dietary needs will be met.
The cuisine in Sedona is absolutely outstanding! You will be served healthy breakfasts each morning which will include eggs, fresh fruits, home baked breads, muffins, juices, coffee and tea.
Sedona is a great foodie destination where restaurants cater to every taste, from organic vegan options to sophisticated, international cuisine and indulgent, chef-driven menus served amid the legendary Sedona red rocks. You will enjoy views that are to die for while you dine and meet amazing people along the way.
The
Wonders...
Come and enjoy the sight of The Grand Canyon & Sedona. Ribbon Falls + The Colorado River are calling your name!
On day two of the trip you will hike down the North Kaibab trail into one of the biggest wonders of the world. You will experience some of the most expansive views you have ever seen. We will make a pit stop at Rainbow Falls, one of the most beautiful and mystical waterfalls in the canyon. As you soak in the views you feel that there is much more to this area than you realized and you feel rejuvenated and inspired.
At the campsite at the bottom of the canyon near Phantom Ranch you will have a chance to relax and dip into the refreshing Bright Angel Creek. After dinner you will enjoy an unforgettable sunset right on the banks of the Colorado River. You sit in awe with your fellow travelers reminiscing the day and your guide will share his/her wealth of knowledge and stories about the area.
On day three we will hike out of the canyon on The Bright Angel Trail enjoying big views of The Colorado River. It is the grandeur and strength of this amazing river that created the Grand Canyon. Hiking out on the Bright Angel Trail offers different views and sights than the hike down into the canyon.
While in Sedona you will enjoy the wide open vistas, some of the best hikes in the area and learn about the mystical vortexes.
Whether or not you believe that energy vortexes exist, one thing is for certain, there is “something” about Sedona that has made people travel there for something more than just its incredible beauty. You will visit a few of the strongest vortexes in the area - Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock and Fay Canyon.
Sedona’s vortex energy is powerful and you will experience the benefits just by being there. Spiritual leaps and transformation can occur more quickly and easily in Sedona because of the vortex energy.
The Gifts...
Confidence in your strength.
After covering some major ground in The Grand Canyon and Sedona you realize you are stronger than you think and can go further than you ever thought possible.
Big visions & goals.
The grandeur of The Grand Canyon and energy in Sedona will expand your mind, heart & soul. You will return home with a much bigger vision for your life.

Here’s what past travelers had to say…
“
I chose to attend ‘A Journey To The Unlimited Self’ because I knew I needed it. The cost was holding me back at first, but that limiting belief was something I wanted to change. I knew if I could change how I viewed money it would also change other things I limit myself to do. I loved our guide in The Grand Canyon because he made me feel so well cared for, was knowledgeable about the area and so fun! Some of my favorite parts of the trip were all the matching umbrellas & laughter, the sunset hike & hike to Ribbon Falls. I loved the yoga instruction from Heather and how spontaneous she is, able to have picnic table yoga and bunk bed yoga at Phantom Ranch. It was amazing how much the yoga helped soothe sore muscles after all the hiking. Absolutely go on this trip. It is the chance of a lifetime. Heather’s yoga is easy to implement and transformational. You will be surprised by the miracles that can happen by making the choice to attend.”
“I had never been to either the Grand Canyon or Sedona, though I have wanted to visit both for several years. This was the perfect opportunity to fulfill long-time hiking goals in a fun setting.
I didn’t really think I would ever fulfill this dream and I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to do so. Thank you, Heather! You are a blast to travel with and the entire trip was so much fun! You’re sure to have a lot of fun on this trip, and if you’re so inclined it can include a good dose of self-reflection.
”
“I attended another one of Heather’s excursions because I know they are fabulous. The trip sounded like a “bucket list” trip and nothing I ever would have done without this opportunity. I love the balance built into Heather’s trips - the physical, mental and spiritual. Heather pushes you to the edge of your comfort zone and then guides you beyond the limitations you previously put on yourself. The trip made me realize that I am unlimited and capable of - and worthy of - having anything I want. It cleared some of the “fog” from the past year. It also expanded my personal network by meeting other people, having shared experiences and learning from eachother’s vulnerabilities. I loved everything about this trip ! I enjoyed all of the time we spent outdoors and the beauty the areas have to offer. A few of my favorite moments were stopping to do meditations while hiking in the Canyon or on Big Bell in Sedona. Since returning home, I have incorporated all of the breathing exercises, grounding, the new yoga flow and great stretches into my life. If this trip is presented to you, it’s something you need. You may not know why but you’ll figure it out later. I’ve been on two trips with Heather and look forward to the next. You will come home from the trip different than when you left!”
About Your Guide :-)
Hi, I'm Heather Feather. I have been drawn to hike in lodges, lodges you can only reach on foot, for a long time because they are off the beaten path and offer up a physical challenge - two of my favorite things! Physical challenges grow me in so many ways and are an essential part of my life.
My first experience visiting a hike in lodges was to Mt Leconte in The Smokey Mountains. It was outstanding and I just had to see more. After hearing about Phantom Ranch in The Grand Canyon I knew I had to go! Plus, the hike to Phantom Ranch would provide a bigger challenge.
I love out of the box experiences and have always been exploring beyond my limits. I believe a dream life is possible, won't settle for "just ok" love and and relationships, love exploring my physical limits and pushing my body to see what I am capable of. You don't have to settle!
That’s why I created “A Journey To The Unlimited Self” Grand Canyon Rim To Rim Hike + Sedona Excursion. This trip is a bucket list experience that will give you the opportunity to explore your physical as well as mental possibilities. You are stronger than you think!
I have never limited myself to what everyone else is doing or what I think I should do. I want that for you too!
I can't wait to share one of the amazing wonders of the world with you while pushing you beyond what you thought possible.
