Grand Canyon Field Institute

If you would like to join a guided hiking and/or camping trip that is educational in nature, consider the Grand Canyon Field Institute (GCFI). GCFI works in close association with the National Park Service to provide multi-day learning events that complement the park's own interpretive programming. GCFI is the educational arm of the Grand Canyon Association, a non-profit organization established in 1932 to support education, research, and other programs for the benefit of Grand Canyon National Park and its visitors.
