Hi Fellow Hikers (at least the acrophobic ones), I am doing a 4 night backpack of the S Kaibab - Tonto - Hance Creek - Grandview loop (from Cotton wood Creek I...
I might be able to live with that, but I can think of negative impacts from hang-glider air tours. Certainly, noise would no longer be a problem, other than...
Yes, it is so easy a small child can do it. Of course, Kessler is obviously one extraordinary small child ! Before the work a few years back, there WAS a...
If you have the bandwidth here is a link to a 2:00 minute Flash Video clip of the red Plymouth Crossfire that was extracted from the Canyon Thursday by a KMax...
Anyone have luck viewing the video... 4.5MB download should takes seconds via my cable modem connection. Is there a direct link to download the video instead? ...
Had no problem viewing the video via cable modem. Also, it's a "progressive download" so it should start playing even before the entire 4.55 MB download is...
Hi Fellow Grand Cyn Folks, I recently lost my old Grand Cyn Trails Illustrated (TI) map that covered the park from Lees Ferry all the way to beyond Tuckup Cyn....
The walk up from Paige (Miners) Spring up to Horseshoe Mesa is now on nice trail; for non-maintained trail. The trail was worked on in 2005; primarily on the...
Paul, Obviously, disregard my previous post, I was replying to Mimi's "clipped" reply. I should have read your original post to see your entire message. ...
I'm not sure I would have described it that way, but must be the same place - the ONLY place where you'd need to use hands - and yes, it is gone. Next thing...
Hi everyone. I just joined this group because I am interested in returning to the GC. This past fall I did a day hike with Hike for Discovery (Leukemia &...
And in that vein I'll chime in and admit that I never found the Horseshoe Mesa trails on any side to be a significant problem. They are unmaintained trails and...
Very nice! I did get the other link to work 1 time but I just tried it again and got no picture. Link below is awesome with sound... I'm running XP SP2, IE6,...
Thank you all for the responses and suggestions. When I come back from my trip,I will make sure to post my pics. and especially of this area. Also, I dont...
Hi Bobbie and welcome! My best knowledge concerning guided hikes is the GC Association's Field Institute Classes. They just opened their 2007 season with all...
It is only 20-25' drop with lots of hand and foot holds in the top 5-10'. It can be upclimbed as well as down so "mandatory" might be just a bit excessive and...
John, I am not talking about the 10' climb. I do not recall if it was above or below the climb, but the place I mentioned in my previous post looked like the...
Damn, I do not think there was any such place on the trail anytime I've been there. First time was in 2001 right after the unpleasantness. Unless you're...
This was in October 2002. Now that you mention it, it does seem like it was fairly close to the top. We did scan the immediate area for a bypass, but did not...
In addition to personal exposure sensitivity, things like picking the right place to be while on a route or unmaintained trail can make a huge difference....
