Hi Dennis, Great article. And great photo. It's always interesting to learn something new about the Grand Canyon. I had no idea about Nankoweap's anniversary....
I too have heard about this narrow spot and have wondered if it is as bad as some say. The trail from Horseshoe Mesa to Miner's/Page Spring used to be bad in...
[Note: Response to post made in Feb, 2007. This is still linked to the original thread and people may follow that if they chose by using the web interface.] ...
US Laws Concerning the Havasupai Reservation Lands There are two legal documents that define the agreement between the US Government and Havasu 'Baaja about...
Steve - Thanks for researching this and posting it here. It definitely clears up a number of misconceptions I had. For example, it now makes sense why the...
Steve -- I am very interested in different views about this subject. I note that in the past you have represented support for tribal interests on land use and...
I think the photo is rather misleading... It is "damn scary" -- hardly any comparison to the east neck route before or since improvements. But the problem is...
I know that there are individuals who will transport you to the S. Bass trailhead for a fee and was wondering if someone could give me some names of people...
... Bob, My efforts have been to understand the legal status of property and land use rights in this area of the GCNP and by doing so provide a basis for...
Apparently, Doug's "however bad it was for someone, that's how bad it was" -- with which I agree -- applies to pictures, too, since I think that's one of the...
Steve, Are you using the term "Topocoba Road" to mean the road from the entrance to their reservation (where their fee gate is) out to Topocoba Trailhead, and...
... Doug, I am sympathetic to Natives' rights in general over land issues, and in particular to the Havasu 'Bajaa due to the unusually harsh treatment they've...
Hi, Sonia/Elizabeth, It's not scary, is it?! It just cracks me up that some people won't pass!! Oh, well. All the more fun for us. Enjoy your upcoming...
Hi, Doug - I think you're right about anything risky being subjective... I, for one, am scared to death to swim in freshwater lakes because there might be...
... Bob, In a word, yes. The full name of the road I was referring to is Topocoba Hilltop Road and it runs from the eastern boundary of the reservation to a...
Hello Steve -- That is actually somewhat amusing to me for some reason that I cannot really explain. The text of 33544 refers to awareness of Havasupai...
Cara Lyn -- Once you decide to do it... My favorite mantra for risky places is concentrate on where your hands and feet go and make sure to choose the best...
Doug, I guess people will read what they want and I'm afraid this issue has had such strong viewpoints for so long people aren't able to see it any other way. ...
Steve, The limited tribal resources can not be expected to secure the borders as effectively as ICE secures the southern US border. Do you know whether...
Really Steve, "everything outside their original land" could be anything you want to interpret it to be, including downtown of the Old Pueblo!! But "land...
So I've been over that narrow part three times (well 6, as they were round trips), once with a 7 yr old, and the anticipation was much worse than the ...
Hi. I have been reading posts here for some time. You all are very informative and interesting. Thank you. I live in Minnesota and fell in love with the...
Hey all, I've been to horseshoe mesa twice in the past few months, albeit only on relatively short day-hikes. Each time I've looked for the cave-of-the-domes,...
I think you may have gone too far. As you go around the mesa, the trail goes through a small open area with little vegetation. This is roughly right at the end...
