“Absolutely love this company and will certainly continue to be a regular from here on out! We did the 3 Waterfalls and 3 Peaks hikes on Oahu and I could not before pleased with our choices. We got 2 very different experiences that really showed multiple landscapes and were fun and challenging in their own ways. Make sure you are comfortable with a little climbing mixed in with your hiking…especially for 3 Peaks! This excursion is not for the faint of heart, but I highly recommend you not pass it up!”

The adventure, day by day

The Japanese Alps aren’t just a backdrop—they’re the main event. This trek launches from Matsumoto, where samurai once roamed, and sends us straight into the clouds along the legendary Panorama Ginza route. We’re talking steep climbs, razor-sharp ridgelines, and views so unreal they belong in a woodblock print. Nights in mountain huts above the clouds, views of cloud-kissed peaks, and a grand finale descent into Kamikochi? Absolute perfection. If you’ve ever wanted to earn your ramen with a week of heart-racing adventure, this is your ticket.

Day 1 Mijau Mijau

The trail starts with an easy hike heading south along the ridgeline, towards the summit of Mt. Otensho. The ascent of this mountain is steep, over loose rocks and gravel. Mt. Otensho is the highest peak on the Panorama Ginza route. After summiting, we will continue with several more descents and ascents towards Jonen, all the while enjoying views of the Japanese Alps.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Hiking: 10 km (6.2 mi), 7 hours
Accommodation: Mountain hut

Tracy is so knowledgeable, she makes each event special. My daughter and I have taken the Grand Canyon Stroll, the Vortex tour and a trip to the cliff dwellings, the well and to the ranch. I have taken two other friends to her Grand Canyon Stroll. So worth it! So all in all I have “trekked” with Tracy each of my 3 recent trips to Sedona!

Things to know

  • 57hours is committed to providing safe outdoor adventure experiences. We require all guides using our platform to have a COVID-19 safety plan and to make the details of that plan accessible to travelers. In most cases, group sizes will be reduced, guides will avoid overcrowded locations, and other safety measures will be met depending on the location and activity.

    We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, guides and the communities they’re travelling to. For more information on COVID-19 measures in the Grand Canyon please refer to the Arizona Office of Tourism.

    Please contact us if you have any questions or require further information. We are happy to provide you with the most up-to-date information!

  • What you get on this adventure:

    • An experienced, local hiking guide with extensive knowledge of the area
    • A full day of guided hiking
    • Water and picnic lunch in the Canyon
    • All necessary high-quality gear (backpacks, trekking poles, etc.)
    • Permits and entrance fees

    What’s not included:

    • Transportation
    • Accommodations
  • There are hiking and backpacking tours in the Grand Canyon to suit all skill and fitness levels, so even if you’re not an experienced hiker, there’s a trail for you. Your guides will help you choose the optimal terrain, and have the best possible hiking experience in the Grand Canyon.

      • For beginner hikes, if you can walk for three to six miles with little elevation gain while carrying a daypack, you are good to go!
      • Intermediate hikes will see more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to eight miles while carrying a full daypack.
      • Advanced hikes are full-day treks with steep descents and challenging switchbacks. Keep in mind that the weather in the summer can be very hot in the Grand Canyon and you’ll also be carrying a full daypack for your hiking trips, so expect a challenging day even for the most avid hikers
  • Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:

      • Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 25-40L bag)
      • Hiking poles — optional
      • Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity)
      • Lightweight hiking boots or shoes
      • Spare clothes for layering
      • Waterproof rain jacket
      • Sunhat
      • Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.)
      • Headlamp or flashlight
      • Sunglasses
      • Camera — optional (but recommended)

    Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

  • Most people fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which is a two-hour drive from Flagstaff, AZ, where most people stay. Flagstaff is only a 90-minute scenic drive away from the Grand Canyon.

You can also arrange to be picked up from your hotel in Flagstaff, Williams, Tusayan, or in the Grand Canyon Village.
