It’s been a little over ten weeks since I made the eight hour ascent out of the Grand Canyon with snow pelting straight at me. When I tell my friends about the trip, they say, «That sounds awful!» Honestly it was a great experience. We decided last minute to do a guided backpacking trip into the Grand Canyon and after researching decided to go with Four Seasons Guides.
They got a permit for us to go on the Hermit Trail, which is a more backcountry and difficult trail.
I wanted to go on a guided trip because I’ve never done a backpacking trip before. Since they provide all the gear and food, it’s really a good deal. I didn’t want to invest in a bunch of gear and then possibly not use it again. All of their gear is top quality from MSR and it’s made in the USA.
Jeremy, our guide, was really knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Grand Canyon. We were well taken care of the entire trip– coffee, delicious food, snacks, history lessons. I think he’s part mountain goat, carrying an impressive amount of gear, food, etc. while wearing sport sandals. P. S. The downward, shearing pressure of the hiking boots can result in your toenail falling off, which happened to me. It’s no big deal and not painful. I’m going to ask for a 10% off discount when I go for my next pedicure.
Also Jeremy is an EMT. I’m a Nurse Practitioner so that really gave me peace of mind to know that he’s equipped to handle a medical emergency, just in case. In fact, he had a better first aid kit than I did.
When they tell you to train for your trip, do it. If you’re in good shape, get in better shape. Since we booked the trip kind of last minute, I wasn’t in the best shape to tackle this strenuous trail but I made it out! Overall it was an amazing and challenging trip and I highly recommend going with Four Seasons Guides.

I recently returned from a trip with Four Seasons that took me and my friend to the Grand Canyon via Hermit Loop. We could not have been more impressed with Four Season Guides’ quality of trip or the expertise of our individual guide, Jeremy Williams. He is an absolutely fantastic guide, and his knowledge of backpacking tips, cooking, Grand Canyon history, Arizona lore, etc. really made our trip. His scheduling seemed to always perfectly match the weather, our day trip to the Colorado river was fantastic, and the food was plentiful. I wouldn’t hesitate before booking another four seasons trip, and I’d request that Jeremy be our guide.
Four Seasons also was extremely helpful with their pre-trip updates, and their placement at the end.

Mike, thanks for all the help and advice. –I would recommend going to four seasons outdoor gear. I stopped in for some crampons ended up getting new hiking boots and snowshoes. Good prices, awesome gear and very good service.

My husband and I went into this shop last week to pick up some last-minute items before a trip to the Grand Canyon (carabiners, camp mugs) and were really impressed with Stu, who was working behind the counter.
We only spent about $ 10 in the store but Stu talked to us for the better part of an hour, giving us all kinds of excellent tips, directions, suggestions for side trips and ideas for future canyon adventures in Northern AZ & Southern UT. He definitely did not need to be so attentive to us since we were extremely low stakes customers that day.
If we can afford him, we would definitely hire him in the future for a guided trip! No idea what it costs to hire the guides but we will definitely be back to the shop at a bare minimum next time we visit Flagstaff.

We did the 3 day Havasu Falls hike and had a great experience! The views and the hiking were amazing and we were lucky to have such a wonderful guide! The trip was very well organized and all details were taken care of. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable and we were very impressed with the entire experience. When we arrived at camp, our guide set up our camp site while we sat near the waterfall. All of our meals were prepared for us, and when they say they ‘take pride in their culinary creations”-they are not kidding! The food was great, we could not have asked for a better trip. I highly recommend Four Seasons Hiking Guides if you are in the area!

Amazing shop. Not always lots of stuff handy, but what they do have is good quality, and they’ll order you anything.
Great people, decent prices, open all year (unlike some shops around here)

This place has a lot of hiking supplies; name brands like Columbia & camelbak just to name a few. The sales clerk is very informative of the area, he gave us his recommendations an we took his advice! AWESOME AWESOME places he told us about! Great place for forgetful adventurous souls!

This is a great store for whatever gear needs you might have. We were impressed by the knowledgeable salesperson, especially since he didn’t try to up-sell us into the expensive crampons for hiking into the Grand Canyon. (He said the $ 11 ones would be just fine, and he was absolutely right — he also gave us a good idea of what to expect on the different trails.) Good, honest advice and quality gear.

This is a review for the «store» part of the business. I have not used the guide service.
This is a great store with nice, knowledgeable staff. I went there during a trip to Flagstaff. The rep working spent some time with me going over the different hiking boots they had and the advantages/disadvantages of each. I will re-visit this store next year when we go back to Flagstaff.

I’m sorry to say that I have had a negative experience with this company. The word to the wise here is they have odd rules, and it’s possible that you could not take the trip and they will take the full amount for your trip. That’s what has happened to us, and now were out 1600 dollars. I think if you want to play it safe, and not get into a situation like this best to go with another guide. Why take the risk?

I’ve used Four Season’s Outfitters as guides on three Grand Canyon camping trips. They have great equipment and outstanding guides, and are very accommodating of special requests. Excellent service. Highly recommended.
