YOUR Hike For SHELTER and Conquer The Canyon Registration Starts today!

Arizona Adventure April 28 - May 1, 2011

Grand Canyon Hike Date: April 30, 2011

SHELTER, Inc. and Conquer The Canyon® have joined forces to alleviate homelessness in Contra Costa County. In April of 2011 the Hike For SHELTER Team will be traveling to Arizona and the Grand Canyon National Park for an exciting and challenging 3-night/4-day walking and hiking adventure.

Hike For SHELTER participants will have the opportunity to experience the Grand Canyon on a personal level, up close, one step at a time. Whether you choose the rolling hills and panoramic views of the Rim Trail or steep descents into Grand Canyon of up to 3200’, team members will hike and walk the trails accompanied by an expert guide who will interpret the intricacies of the geology, history, flora, fauna and environmental zones of the Canyon.

The Grand Canyon is a place of magnificent beauty, a place unlike anywhere else in the world. One of the greatest natural wonders of the world, with its mile-high, multicolored rock walls, craggy cliffs, and sandy slopes, it is the embodiment of nature’s awesome power and surpassing beauty.

Join us and enjoy this spectacular natural feature that extends for hundreds of miles across a portion of the southwestern Colorado Plateau. Your participation will increase awareness and raise funds to end homelessness for families in our local community.

All Hike For SHELTER and Conquer The Canyon participants will receive the following benefits:

• Experienced, local hike leaders who will help you prepare and train for the adventure over a 16-week period. This includes local hikes, clinics and coaching.
• Includes round-trip airfare, ground transportation and accommodations. Most meals are included.
• Choose among walking or hiking adventures with varying levels of difficulty suitable for all interests and fitness levels.
• Hikes led in small groups (8 to 10 hikers) by Walking Connection and Conquer The Canyon certified, Grand Canyon expert hiking guides.
• Personal support and materials to make your fundraising both easy and successful.

Participation is limited to the first 50 hikers who sign up.
