Paul, I'll give my usual pitch to spread out this hike to seven nites, or so, to give you time to drop your pack and explore several of the very interesting...
Yep I totally agree with Bob's suggestion to stretch it to 7 night's or so, and explore some of the referenced sites. It would be that much more enjoyable,...

Wow!! May must be a popular hiking month in The Canyon. I had our unit secretary trying to fax in my permit app since before 7 AM. She probably thinks I'm a...
Adrian.... Actually, the permit deadline today is for April, not May, so maybe you want to double check your requested dates if they are, in fact, for May. I...
1). I would fly into Las Vegas. Cedar City is a very small town. It would be a lot cheaper, too. 2) You could then do Zion, then Bryce. I believe the north rim...
Dana, thanks for the alert. I did put in for April and just made a mistake with the post......don't know where I came up with May. I'd rather go in April....
Adrian.... I hear you! I freak out if the fax does not produce one of the reports that verifies that the transmisison was "OK." So, yesterday I was using...
Does anyone know how long it took Edwin McKee to trek around Great Thumb Mesa, from his book "The Inverted Mountains: Canyons of the West"? If anyone has a...

Sure!.....would love to have you along! But, like me, you may have to listen to Darcy tell you how to use it. And, we would let Darcy plan the menu. Where's...
Thanks a bunch. We've avoided the corridor for many years, too, and I bet it has changed. Your report made me feel like I was there, except for the fact that...

Hey guys & gals, Is the trail to Upper Ribbon Falls easy to locate at Lower Ribbon and if so where do you look? Also, would a hike from Cottonwood all the way...
My 11 year old, myself and another adult did the Cottonwood to Clear Creek hike last fall as part of a longer north rim to south rim hike. It was a long day....

I have meant to post this a couple of year ago. I assumed people with a Fax machine knew this, which might not be the case. The idea is to get in as many...
