My friends and I have booked an annual camping and backpacking trip with Four Season Guides for the last three years, and every trip has been amazing. This year we celebrated my best friend’s 35th birthday on a 5-day Deer Creek Thunder River loop with Matt and Quin, and despite the challenging hike, the breathtaking views, great campsites, delicious food, and incredible guiding made it my favorite annual trip.

We just returned from an epic 5-day Deer Creek/Thunder River trip in the Grand Canyon, and this was our 5th time using Four Season Guides because of their consistently high level of service and friendliness. Jeremy and Lily were outstanding guides who handled every detail—from sharing history at key sites to preparing fresh French press coffee—making it a truly first-class experience in one of nature’s greatest wonders.

Just returned from my 5th Grand Canyon hike with Four Season Guides, and as annual hikers we’ve steadily increased the difficulty each year, with Deer Creek/Thunder River being both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Our first-rate guides provided great meals, shared canyon history, ensured our safety and comfort, and made the experience unforgettable with stunning views and a rare bighorn sheep encounter.

3rd trip with Four Season Guides, this time in the Grand Canyon, and it was another phenomenal hike with unforgettable scenery, from descending through the canyon’s layers and Surprise Valley to exploring slots, oases, history, and waterfalls. Bob and Karne were expert, fun, and highly knowledgeable guides who handled everything with professionalism and care, making it a safe and deeply rewarding backcountry experience I highly recommend.

If you are considering a guide for your trip, I highly recommend considering and contacting Four Seasons. For us, it couldn’t have gotten any better.

I would recommend Four Seasons Guides to everyone and I myself am already looking into the other trips they offer.
