Grand Canyon Backcountry Tour

On the road to Tuweep, Grand Canyon.

The answer, in a word, is “Tuweep.” This remote section of Grand Canyon has been left the way that nature made it. The road is inaccessible to most vehicles, and travel in this part of the world is perilous for those who are unprepared. The payoff is a beautiful drive through one of the most remote places in the United States, and the chance to peer over sandstone ledges to the Colorado River, some 3,000 ft. below. No railing hinders your view or detracts from your experience. For most first-time visitors, it is literally “breathtaking.”
