She was very experienced and knowledgeable about the Canyon, the rock formations, the trails, etc. There was a point when my wife developed some pain in her knee and Crystal was very attentive, flexible and helpful in remedying the situation. I would definitely recommend Just Roughing It. We only had one day... More

Despite being experienced hikers we decided to pay for a guide for the day to help us get more from our one day Canyon experience. We didn't have the days to do a multi day hike but wanted more from our day trip than seeing the tourist traps. John took us for a hike down the Kaibab trail. His knowledge... More
