Some quick comments on this: I would be distressed by NPS constructing cairns for administrative boundaries... I feel this is inconsistent with wilderness...
There seems to be a lot of interest lately on this group concerning the North Bass Trail. Has anyone out there visited the natural bridge at the head of the...
Surprizing, Wayne, I was there just 4 weeks ago - when I saw there was an access into the sinkhole going under the bridge nothing would stop me seeing how far...
Well, Doug, you may be distressed to hear what the North Rim ranger told me on October 9. "Two large cairns have been constructed on the Clear Creek Trail at...

John - I found one of my trip pictures with Kathy standing next to the cains on the Tonto. I cropped the photo and uploaded a jpeg titled "Cremation Cairns" to...

And exactly how did that become "Steck's Redwall route"? Again I was up and down that in the mid-70's and Harvey told me about it so we can assume he was up...
I would agree, it's hard to be sure who did it 1st, but Harvey did write about it 1st. Probably, we can refer to the Phantom headwall Redwall route and not ...

Excellent writeup Dave (except I think maybe you mention "the west fork of Clear Creek" a few times where you mean the east fork), maybe belongs in a FAQ...
Dave, I'd second Doug's comments on your write-up...it's an excellent one that should be sent in the future to newcomers to the Canyon who are trying to...
