A canyon backpacking workshop for backpackers planning a canyon trip, covering gear, packing efficiency, seasonal conditions, and route choices by skill level.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most iconic and challenging landscapes on Earth—and backpacking it requires preparation, skill, and confidence. Join expert backpacker and outdoor educator Jayci Ferrimani, founder of Arizona Climbing Guides, for an in-depth workshop designed to help you plan a safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable Canyon adventure. Jayci will share essential strategies for backpacking in Grand Canyon conditions, including gear recommendations for pack systems, shelter, water treatment, and clothing for extreme temperature swings. Learn what’s worth carrying, what’s not, and how to pack efficiently for long, demanding days on the trail. You’ll also explore the best seasons to backpack the Grand Canyon, with insights on weather patterns, temperature extremes, permit requirements, and how seasonal changes affect trail conditions and water availability. Finally, Jayci will break down the most popular and remote trails, discussing mileage expectations, elevation challenges, and how to match routes to your skill level. With over two decades of guiding experience and thousands of miles hiked in the Grand Canyon, Jayci brings unmatched expertise to help you prepare for one of the most rewarding adventures of your life.[REI Tucson Presentation](https://www.rei.com/events/gcbp/backpacking-the-grand-canyon-strategies-for-success?course.session.anyLocation=25.0%7E32.243815%7E-110.944703%3Bgeo_r)
