We heard about the slide from another hiker but not that it was closed. There was no indication from the bottom. The NPS was not letting anyone go down but we...
Technically, July and August are the hottest months in the Canyon, June is #3, September is 4th hottest, and May is 5th. I've been to the bottom 4 times - 3...
Has anyone been to Monument Creek lately? I headed there this weekend and wondering if there is good flow at the tonto crossing. I've been there twice before...
Well, it took a month, but I've finally posted photos from Thunder River/Deer Creek end of September: http://lunaport.com/photos/set/72157602819145766 Or, if...
My ultimate goal is to descend Buckfarm to the river, then the goal is to get back out again (it's the latter I'm trying to figure out). The options under...
Nice report. Seemed like a ton of weight to haul w/lots of water. Many do SK-river in 2-3 hrs and use very little water. Suspect your illness might of played...
My pack probably weighed 50-55lb, heading down Tanner Trail at beginning of Escalante Route. But that included 5 days' food, water for a dry camp (7 liters...
Maybe I perspire more than some, but my mouth was dry the entire time and I kept sipping from my Camelback the entire way down. Good thing, I only lost about 5...
Do you hike rim-river often with the same results? Might be a training issue or something as you shouldn't lose much weight if you are eating? (river temps...
Cool, thats what I figured for this time of year. I ran across some hikers that had came from there when I was at Hermit one August and they said it was dry....
Thanks for the pictures, loved everyone of them. It looks like the narrows have deeper pools (with less debris) and the splash pool at the river is much...
It has been quite a long time ('83) since I passed that way but when we dropped to the river at 49.9 we had been on tipof the redwall with no access to the ...

Great hike--we saw no other hikers the entire 4 days. We did see and talk to a party of river runners. They stayed about 15 minutes, left some beers for us...
... Hmm, for me them have always been wet. 'Course that's only twice, in May and in April. I think it was you that turned me on to the possibility of water...
-Elizabeth that is a great part of the canyon. I've done the Bass to Hermit twice and enjoyed the feeling of being the only one out there. I do need to go out...
Hello All: Here's a brief trip report of our 7 day hike that started and ended at the Hermit's Rest TH from 10/13 to 10/19. Hikers: Myself and Wayne...
Hi , I just finished a loop from Boucher Trail through Hermit Canyon with John Karpinski. It was a great trip. While in Boucher Canyon, we saw ruins of Hermit...
Great report. I had a hard time when I carried a 55lb pack and weighed 210lb. 265lb on knees with little training did me in. Now I am 180lb with a 35lb pack....
There's a nice history in the Hermit Trail trail guide. All the info is there and trail details, geology, and history in nice, compact resource for under $4,...
Sunday morning near 11:00 am, I arrived at the Bright Angel trailhead from Indian Garden to finish a seven-day hike in Grand Canyon. My main objective was to...
Hi Kirk, Have you done the Papago slide near Hance Rapids? If so, how would you compare it to your climb through the fresh Tanner slide? If there's a ...
This trip gave me 14 nights in the canyon this year—almost enough. I had a 5-night trip in Nankoweap basin a month ago and it was an interesting contrast...
... Upstream, only about a 5-10 min walk, is where you're gonna find it at Boulder - if you find it. ... no ... with ... Supposedly the spring under a...
Folks, I finally did the Escalante Route and have been meaning to post my observations about the "obstacles" found near Papago Canyon, just east of the...
I agree that the Papago wall is overrated climbing it going downstream. I don't recall if we set up a belay for it, but we were prepared to and that makes a...
