I've never felt the draw to do the traditional rim-to-rim in a day hike, but over a year ago I started having thoughts of doing a challenging more remote day...
If you have access to a stadium, going up and down stadium steps has been the best in my experience. Our local high school stadium has 80 steps. The first...
Great report Kam. I could hear, smell, and feel the old ditch while I was reading. I am leaving Wednesday morning to fly out for my annual pilgrimage. Your...
HI, In the absence of steep outdoor trails or accessible stadium stairs I find the stairmaster at the gym to be helpful. Also, someone once mentioned getting a...
Would you believe....... It's October 1st and my husband and I were after one of the elusive early October Phantom Ranch spots. We got up at 4:30 our time and...

Thirteen months in advance would make it October of 2008. I managed to get through this AM and got three nights at Phantom for five guys plus dinners and...

Kam - What a great story! Thank you for sharing it with us. With my upcoming 5 night trip to Clear Creek, I find myself browsing this site more and more...
Hi, No, I was on the right day. On the first of each month, they take reservations for the same month of the following year. By the time I did get through at...
One thing I've learned with applying for permits... definitely fill out a 2nd and 3rd alternative. I submitted my 5 night BA/Clear Creek/BA on the very 1st...
Xanterra needs to come up with a better way to get reservations than by calling their 800#. Last couple of times I've called them, I just get treated rudely....
I agree. It seems the system puts the call center folks in a bad place and they must get awefully tired of disappointing people. Last year I got to know a lot...
