I will post my experience of camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon from February 16th for 2 nights and 3 days.

February 16 (1st day)
Start descending from the South Kaibab Trail around noon in a temperature of -1 ° C.
The members are four uncles in their thirties, forties, and fifties. One of them is Adam, our Japanese mountain guide, who is one of the licensed guides with less than 100 people in the Grand Canyon.
This time we stayed at the campsite at the bottom of the valley for 2 nights, so we carried tents, sleeping bags, water and clothes on our backs, but we were unfamiliar with luggage of around 12 kg, and Adam was fluffy for 3 days' worth of food. He was able to carry more than 30 kg of luggage such as tools.
About 10 cm of snow had accumulated on the trail over the weekend, and the condition continued to the top third. Slowly descend for about 45 minutes so as not to slip and arrive at Wool Point.
I went down the mountain for another 2 hours and arrived at Skeleton Point. At this point, the snow at my feet has disappeared, and when I look up, I can recognize that it has fallen considerably. At this point, it was a little less than half down to the campsite.
After another hour and a half, we arrived at The Tip Off. It is two-thirds down from the top. You can clearly hear the sound of the Colorado River at the bottom of the valley.
It was dark when I arrived at the Bright Angel campsite (near Phantom Ranch) in Goal after a little less than two hours of descent with my last power, and for the last 30 minutes I walked by relying on the light of a pitch-black flashlight. It was.
There is a flush toilet in the campsite, but for the past few days, I had to carry about 15 liters of river water into a bucket and flush it every time I excreted because I couldn't use the water due to the construction of the water pipe.
The long-awaited camping meal by setting up each tent in the dark!
Bonfires are banned in most national parks in the United States, so cooking can only be done in boiling water at this camp. Honestly, I didn't expect much of the instant foods sold in the US, but this camping meal was surprisingly delicious.
I toasted with beer and soaked in the sense of accomplishment of the day, and when I looked up, there was a starry sky that I had never seen before.
The walking distance on the first day is about 12 km and the height difference is about 1500 meters. I walked from the top to the bottom of the valley for about 7 hours including a break.
This is the end of the first day of the first backpacking IN Grand Canyon. (Continue)

A full-day tour of the Grand Canyon was held on May 29th and 30th.

The guests on the 29th were a family of four stationed in New York, a couple stationed in Chicago, and a total of eight men and women studying abroad in Los Angeles.
The guests on the 30th were a family of three stationed in New York and a couple studying abroad in San Diego, for a total of five people.

Everyone came to the Grand Canyon for a trip during the holidays of Memorial Day.
We were able to guide the tour as planned without the expected heavy congestion during the consecutive holidays.
It may be that the soaring price of gasoline makes it difficult to go out in your own car.

On May 28th and 29th, we held a one-night, two-day Grand Circle tour.

There were a total of four guests, a couple residing in Houston and a couple residing in Michigan.

We had you participate in the trip of the Grand Circle using the consecutive holidays of Memorial Day in the United States.
Although there are differences depending on the region, most areas in the United States will be in full swing from Memorial Day to summer vacation. For people living in the United States, this summer vacation is likely to continue to focus on travel within the United States.
After all, summer is the season for national parks, so it seems that the tourist spots in the Grand Circle will be crowded for a while.

A two-day, one-night Grand Circle tour was held on May 24th and 25th.

The customers were two men and women who came to travel from Japan.

The number of customers traveling from Japan is increasing little by little, but it is often the case that mixed-ride tours are still reserved like this time.
It's a tough situation for us to organize the tour, but I think we're very lucky for the customers who participate in the tour.
Please come to the Grand Canyon for sightseeing, aiming for a high charter rate before the overseas travel is revived in earnest and you are busy.
