Hi Roger, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your trip report and loved the photo slide show on your "Shutterfly" site. They brought back some very fond memories of...
Hi All - I recently completed a hike on the Nankoweap Trail. To view that report, go here: http://www.allhikers.com Hiking Hiking Trip Reports 2009 Nankoweap ...
Another great trip report! I now see that camping along the river has both its advantages (Free Beer) and disadvantages (noisy, inconsiderate SOB's). Thanks...
I've been fairly satisfied with Java Juice on the trail. It's a 1/2oz packet of coffee concentrate - you just add hot water and condiments as desired....
I've never had Java Juice but we took the Starbucks' on our hike a few weeks ago. Maybe it's better than most instant coffees but it's still instant coffee. I...
All, Whilst drifting off last night I realized a glaring error in this trip report. In it I said, "To the southeast Swamp Point and the Saddle Canyon saddle ...
Hello Jan, Six years ago my left hip was circling the drain and I ended up going to Belgium to have it resurfaced with a BHR like you will be geting....
About three and a half years ago I did my first New Hance/Grandview trip with some friends from work. One of them brought his teenage son for his first GC...
I have used JJ for years and have recently tried 'Via" - I like (the Italian Roast) better than JJ - it is available in all "Fourbucks" stores - they are even...
Only time I use is with Crocks at days end in camp in snow. __________ R.W. Brown, Psy.D., DABPS, DABMC, DABDA Clinical, Forensic & Neuropsychology Services ...
... Cool, I'll try it. ... Yes, I'm hip to Nido. I add it to my oatmeal breakfast packets. But it doesn't cut it for coffee, IMHO, even instant coffee. ...
... Thanks. That was no problem once I got to it, a few steps here and there were loose AND steep AND exposed, a combination I absolutely hate, but basically...
I took my son for his first Grand Canyon hike when he was five. We went down the Tanner to the Seventy-five mile traverse, then down to the river. It took us...
Richard - I do have a question about getting to the trailhead for Nankoweap. Perhaps the answer would be obvious to other folks on this site so I'll post it...
Bob Holland has hiked from Point Imperial to the high access area as a day hike and reports it is about four miles one-way. You would still have to hike from...
Joe, That's wonderful news. I was told by the surgeon's assistant that if I'm a candidate for an anterior incision (which cuts through much less material), I...
I posted the first of many pictures taken on my stay here in Antarctica, hopefully many more to come. The skiing is unlike anywhere I've ever had the pleasure...
... This discrepancy is greater than I've read elsewhere - usually 3.5 vs 3 miles. How did you get these numbers (esp. the 2.0 miles from the "high" TH) ? John...
John - I ran two different topo programs (one I use to create the maps at the start of each day's story and the other is my GPS topo software). Both came up...
John - I just ran my topo program again to make double-sure and I get the exact same thing - 2.0 miles for the high access route. When I finished hiking back...

Grand Canyon National Park [20] rangers on Tuesday were trying to determine the cause of death of an Arizona man whose body was found on the Bright Angel...
I think a taxi is the only way to get a ride out the East Rim Drive past Yaki Point. The shuttles only go from the village east to Yaki Point, and west to...
... Obviously much too early to say. The tight terrain certainly makes thrown rocks there especially dangerous but there are plenty of other possibilities. ...
