I was hiking up the BA trail with a friend who is a slow hiker the only time I have done it in May, 2006 and a ranger told us to wait until 4 p.m. to leave...
Another take on things would of been an hour in the dark on BA hiking out should be no problem given you were moving quite slow and it's uphill. I've seen...
There's a chapter in "Grand Obsession" in which the authors get themselves in a pickle by trying a shortcut to get back to camp after trying to climb Wotan's...

Howdy all. I went to a recent REI "Backpacking 102" class (my wife calls it the calling of the hiker geeks) and during the water filtering discussion, the...

Hi all, the Rafting_Grand_Canyon home page has a new photo of the Pearce Ferry Rapid. The photo was taken on 9-1-07 by Duwain Whitis. You can see the photo at:...
