🥾 Grand Canyon Native Trails is a family run business giving tours along the east rim of the Grand Canyon, an area inaccessible unless you’re with a Navajo Guide. Every Sunday in March they’re offering discounted rates for locals. This is a unique way to experience the canyon with incredible views, a personal guide telling Navajo history, culture, and stories, and seeing fossils and ancient archeological sites.

*This is not sponsored, just a cool thing I thought you’d like to know about! I’ll always let you know if a section is sponsored.
