Hydros Adventures is filling empty seats on trips this summer in a pretty novel way: they’re giving them away for free! You can register to win a free trip to Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon at HydrosAdventures.com and the winner(s) will be notified via email at some point in the future (details are pretty sparse despite the website and press release I read). The trip normally costs about $800 per person (minimum) so a free trip is one heck of a deal!

I hadn’t heard of Havasu Falls before but from the pics and videos I saw this morning it looks truly amazing. The Hydros Adventures trip is 3 days and involves hiking 10 miles each way to the falls and back. Fortunately pack mules do most of the heavy lifting and that’s a good thing since the elevation change is about 2200′ over the route.

It seems like free camping and hiking opportunities are popping up everywhere this summer - we’ll keep letting you know about the deals we find!
