Hi all, I ran across an online store called Steep and Cheap. They only offer one or two products at a time and when they are gone, they are gone. You can sign...
Well, it was a nice trip... aside from the weather... which could have been a lot worse. The temps were cooler than expected, probably only in the mid 70s...
If you were going to the Canyon for the first time, where would you pick for your first view? We will be on the SR for four nights before taking a schuttle to...
Bob, Thanks for the report and for sharing the pictures. I really hope that it will be less windy when I will be there in 3 weeks. About the food issue, how do...
That's a tough question. For me, the first time was 20 years ago, and I couldn't wait to get the "fisrt look". I guess you will get about 100 different...
I just figure out what I would like to eat and then try to total up the calories that will give me, hoping it will average out to around 2500/day. I think the...
Peace Surplus in Flagstaff has them, in three different sizes. I picked up one there just before my Clear Creek trip. I remember seeing mice over there on...
So. have the ammo cans officially been removed from the CC campsites? I remember reading that it was going to happen, but I don't recall hearing that they...
I just made reservations for a July hike on the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island. Wondering if anybody here has made the trip and would share your...

... one or ... I wouldn't expect Steep and Cheap to offer ratsacks, unless it is an overstock item at Backcountry.com (they run Steep and Cheap). BUT it is a...
Hardest part is the reservations; once you have that, it's a cruiser. One of the best trails in NA, yet many of us have never heard of it (many Euros there)....
... SO true. But here's one idea: if you can resist the temptation to pull in to one of the overlooks as you enter the South Rim, why not drive all the way...
... I think the new issue of Sunset has an article about this island and trail. It does sound amazing. Roger dodger Northern CA ... give ... to ... on ... and...
This trip is on my wish list. I do not know anyone that has done it, they just want to do it. If you remember, I would like to hear about your trip when you...
I came across these Grand Canyon videos (dvd's). This guy walked Down the corridor trails with a video camera..Nice job too. No voice over, just music. Trail...
Has anyone watched the entire DVD as it sounds long but interesting? Wonder how they compare to Ken's DVD's below which I have watched and did really enjoy. ...
I have the entire NK set. It is really good. Was shot after a rain storm i guess..Nice and sunny. It is long, but you can break it down to segments..or fast...
Any idea how it compares to Ken's video from Amazon below? Ken's is very well done with details whereas is the other just silent video or does it contain...
Personal Favorite: Sunrise at Desert View. We drove from Oklahoma City to the Grand Canyon for a hiking trip and we planned the drive so we would reach Desert...
Where are you staying on the North Rim? Drive into the North Rim is so different than anything on the South and you can't see the the canyon from the main hwy....
Thanks for all the replys. Would love to see it from a less crouded area. So the BA trail head sounds like a great Idea. On the SR we will be at Watchman then...
While at the south rim, don't forget to take the rim trail west to the "trail Overlook".. This view shows you the BA trail for a good part of the way from the...
Mimi's idea of waiting until you get BA trailhead for your first view is an interesting twist. If you have the time and the will power, and want to heighten...
Thanks for posting that, Mimi. I'm a regular at Glacier as well, and this attack was a major news item there. One thing I like about the GC is the lack (other...
... Interesting you should say that. We arrived there for a long-anticipated week of hiking just days after the attack, and my recollection is that it was a...
Well, each person's experience is so different and the sights we see have meaning for different reasons. Last fall we did our first below the rim hike, North...
I double Bob H's suggestion enthusiastically. park the car and walk the easy mile out to Shoshone Pt. first. No crowds, and perhaps only you there. Walking...
