Base Camp 1

The National Geographic Visitor Center adds Grand Canyon Base Camp #1 which is the true modern explorer’s destination for exhibits, information, gear and supplies to launch and enhance your Canyon experience.

This high energy environment provides something for adults and kids alike. Base Camp #1 is where the serious business of exploration begins.

Shrouded with colorful tent canopies, interpretive exhibits on geology, explorers of yesterday and today and wildlife living above and below the Canyon, guide and research zones, maps of hiking trails and favorite photography locations, replica boats of the Powell Expedition, modern day river runner boats and much more!

In addition, when you visit Grand Canyon’s Base Camp exhibits you are able to book exclusive guided National Geographic Expedition day tours of the Canyon itself. Only the most knowledgeable guides escort individuals and groups through the Park, leading guests to sites and regaling them with stories and information they would be hard-pressed to discover on their own. The National Geographic Visitor Center is the only place outside the park to offer these experiences.
