More about Your Tour
We love the young kids and we play games with them as we teach them. We pass out our bags of Grand Canyon rocks. The children and adults alike learn to recognize sandstone and limestone, and the texture of lava. You and your children will place each rock sample where it goes on your colorful take-home handouts.
You and your kids will learn of the four chapters of Grand Canyon geologic history. The kids will be invited to act out each chapter. This is always a hilarious activity.
As we walk the safe paths (that are not too close to the edge!), the kids will learn about the Douglas Fir tree and the ground squirrels. We play the Mushroom Game and the Hot Lava Game. The Mushroom Game includes tiny toddlers.
We have children's wildlife and poop books to keep kids busy and happy in the van. Your guide tells about the California condor and Kaibab Squirrel, the banana yucca and the history of these trails. Both children and adults will explore little phlox flowers and big ponderosa trees.
Parents can now enjoy the Grand Canyon with infants. We will walk the path to
the Kaibab Fossil Site, where you will find dozens of shells of the
clams and corals that lived in the Kaibab Sea. Each child will have their own colorful
guide and can check off the fossils as they find them.
We end the morning with a quiet
time near the beautiful canyon.
