The
Walking Connection
Welcome to The Walking Connection
History
 Since
1989 The Walking Connection has been at the forefront of
motivating and teaching individuals, companies and communities how
to utilize walking and hiking to maximize their health and enrich
their lives.
The company was founded by Jo Ann Taylor. While working
as a program director for Nike, Jo Ann was charged with conducting
research to learn how feet change as individuals age and what activities
interest them so Nike could begin designing athletic shoes to meet
this growing demand.
The Walking Connection began promoting and managing
local walks, and the program took on energy of its own as more and
more walkers began to join. Local media attention grew and local
companies and corporate sponsors wanted to support active and healthy
lifestyles. Thousands have participated in our programs through
companies including Honeywell, IBM, Safeway to name several, community
associations such as the Desert Botanical Garden and Phoenix's Library
and Zoo; and through government agencies such as the State of Arizona,
and cites of Mesa, Phoenix and Peoria. Worldwide, WalkingConnection.com
is one of the leading walking, hiking and adventure travel web sites
on the internet.
Today The Walking Connection offers luxury vacations
around the world that include a walking component, allowing travelers
to visit remote villages and experience the world in a unique and
personal way. The Walking Connection sets itself apart in the world
of travel by providing outstanding personal service. A Walking Connection
specialist accompanies guests on every adventure, making this standard
of personal service the highest in the industry.
Conquer
The Canyon is a division
of The Walking Connection and is an extension of the creativity,
knowledge and experience acquired during the past 17 years. The
Dedication and passion for its mission to provide programs, products
and services that enhance healthy lifestyles, and to have a positive
impact on the lives of others, led to the development of Conquer
The Canyon. This program provides a unique opportunity
for nonprofit organizations to raise funds in support of their mission
while offering fundraisers an enriching experience. Conquer The
Canyon has successfully taken thousands of participants into and
out of the Grand Canyon safely, and has raised millions of dollars
for nonprofit organizations.
The Walking Connection and Conquer The Canyon continue
to grow as we extend a personal invitation to Come Walk
With Us!
