Jim, most excellent advice from jagchiker. I might add another hike, on a 4th day or as a 3rd day-alternative, and that would be the Tanner Trail down to the...
IF he's in shape and leaves at dawn a rim-river-rim down/up SK should be fine. I took a very in-shape newbie down SK to the river in 2 hours where we...
