The Grand Canyon - Introduction

The Cancer Research Institute is the world’s only non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to the support and coordination of laboratory and clinical efforts that will lead to the immunological treatment, control, and prevention of cancer.

Conquer The Canyon offers you an intimate experience with Earth. Created in 2003 by The Walking Connection, this inspiring adventure leads you along this great chasm created by the lift of the Colorado Plateau and intricate carvings of the Colorado River a mile below.

You'll take in the awe-inspiring views found only along the rolling hills of its rim, and experience the movement of its colors from the sun drenched depths below. You can choose from its meandering roads and paths above, venture down one of its challenging trails, or simply enjoy its views. Conquer The Canyon offers something for everyone!

Conquer The Canyon walks and hikes are led by expert Walking Connection Grand Canyon guides. Your small group of 10 to 13 participants will take in the most scenic and breath taking canyon in the world. You will experience the peace, solitude, beauty and adventure that can only be found on a journey at Grand Canyon. There are no "start and finish" lines, competition or timers, and marathon distances are covered by how far the eyes can see, not by how far your feet can carry you. This is an adventure of total enjoyment.

Conquer The Canyon is a grand celebration of your accomplishment in supporting the mission that brought you to this magnificent place. While the views are surreal, the goals you set at the beginning of your adventure are completed here, at one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The Mission Celebration is very real!
