Hike The Grand Canyon And Volunteer For The Animals!
United States of America (Press Release) February 14, 2008 --
Take in Grand Canyon vistas and donate your kindness to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the country’s largest no-kill refuge for abused and abandoned pets. This unique getaway offers a chance to escape your hectic schedule and engage your heart while you help homeless animals and revel in beauty of the Southwest.
The five day/four night trip Green Earth Travel created starts and ends in Las Vegas. A van will shuttle clients from Las Vegas Airport to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, located near Kanab, Utah. After an orientation and tour of the facilities, clients will assist Best Friends staff with the daily chores and routines that keep the shelter running. After two days of volunteering, participants will join Canyon Rim Adventures, to begin a three day, two night guided backcountry adventure.
The Best Friends portion of the trip participants will be staying on site in Angel Canyon.
Volunteer duties at Best Friends can include (but is not limited to) assisting with feeding, grooming, cleaning living areas, and walking or training those animals looking for adoptive homes. The facilities at the sanctuary are impressive. These dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, and birds all have great homes and loving companions working with them every day—and they can stay as long as they want. There’s no time limit at Best Friends. Of course, the goal is to find every pet a forever home.
The second half of this vacation starts with a two hour drive from Kanab, Utah to the incomparable Toroweap Overlook of the Grand Canyon. After lunch on the edge of the world, your guides will lead a warm up hike along the slickrock sandstone tableland that marks this section of the canyon’s rim country. The length of the hike depends on a number of factors, but most groups hike around for at least three hours.
In the afternoon, after setting up camp away from the rim, the crew will cook up a four-star dinner by the campfire.
The next day of the adventure includes the longest hike of the trip—an all day escape into a beautiful side canyon for a trail lunch and lots of exploring. The folks at Canyon Rim Adventures believe a real connection with this beautiful landscape can only be forged through physical effort. But don’t worry, there will be plenty of time for breathers.
The last day starts with camp breakdown, then a drive and short hike to a spectacular panoramic overlook of the junction of the canyon’s longest side canyon with the main Colorado River corridor. After lunch on the rim you’ll head back out to civilization and a shuttle ride to Las Vegas.
