Check out this trip report. Very informative and is the first person to "play down" the rappel. http://www.grandcanyontreks.org/heywood.htm Good Luck! Pete...
IMO five days is enough to do the route you asked although you will have to move fairly fast. If you are not an experienced climber I would definitely...
Vince, I wrote that report that Pete suggested you read, and although I did downplay the difficulty of the rappel, I've sometimes wished I didn't in light of...
I was fortunate enough to spend some time on New Year's Day at the Canyon. Here were some of the highlights: Braked for 7 elk on the highway south of Valle....
I have done the Royal Arch Rt somewhere around four times. For fast hikers, five days should be all right but you will cover quite a few miles a day ...

Tina, Wow! What a way to greet the new year! I'm jealous. But are you sure about the "wolf" part? Maybe a large coyote? Are there wolves on the south rim...

I will be leaving for the canyon sometime after the 10th of january to hike in from cameron to the colorado river via the little colorado. Then after a few...
Since Bob states there aren't wolves at the Canyon, then I must have seen a coyote. At any rate, it was large, light grey in color, quite furry, especially...
Hello - Just returned from a 9-day trip on Tonto West. Temps out on the open platform can vary widely, but high's in the mid-40's to mid-50's are common. Lows...
Last year at the SB tanks, we met someone who seemed to know the area quite well and who told us there's a way to avoid the rappel altogether. We won't be...
