I hope everyone had a good new years last evening and are sobering up just fine. Our traditional torchlight ski parade and fireworks here in Jackson Hole Wy...
Best wishes to you Bob in your new field and home. Enjoy, and get back to that Canyon as often as possible. Traci [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Nicely put, Jim. I really learned a lot from all the original hikers who posted to this group and enjoy the group we have posting now. I hope no one stays...
Hey Jim, Who you calling an "Old Guy"? I haven't been hiking in the canyon much this past year but I now live only 15 miles from the Mexican border and the...
Bob, How do we go about sending you a Home page photo? Also, do you plan to do anything different with the Photo Album section? How long do the albums remain ...
May we never hear the last of you, Wayne....how's the progress going on that North Rim edition????? I'm waiting on all the cool side hikes I can do in and...
Happy New Year Canyon hikers! I was looking at all my missing toenails this New Year's morning and decided my Canyon resolution will be not to loose any more...
Hi Traci and the whole group, I am going to mess around with the owner tools this weekend so that I can start to get a feel for things. I will probably clear...
Hi, My name is Mike Bollinger and I am new to the group. I live in Missouri and love the outdoors. I've been backpacking for about 35 years and last...
Mike, Greetings fellow Sho-Me stater! I'm in Parkville (KC side). I, too, have an unquenchable desire to commune with The Canyon and have done a lot of hiking...
I miss Super Ranger Bob but maybe NPS got tired of all his posts which I bet some were on OUR dime. Instead we get NPS trolls searching out Gary's next GC hike...
Hi All, I just posted a new photo to the home page. Any guesses about the location? The photo was taken by Chris Forsyth and he can provide the clues and...
... hi Jim! Thanks for thinking of me. I've been lurking (during winters at least, when I have reliable internet access) but rarely contributing, because a...
... No kidding, the South Rim book was one of the best outdoor books I've read. Will there be a North Rim edition? I drool. Reid -- http://blog.reidster.net...
Evidently, Ravens also post lookouts or the BCO is forwarding copies of permits to them because as soon as you take you eyes off of your gear, they are well...
... All, Ray was kind enough to send me one of his TOPO USA prints, and I've added it to my visual reviews page: http://reidster.net/trips/maps/ Currently, the...
... Is that chute or break coming down the right side of the photo part of the Bedrock route? (It looks do-able.) Or is the route entirely behind the viewpoint...
Try Mapcard.com you can get from 1/200,000 to 1/6000 scale and print all the maps you want or save them to your computer/flashdrive for $19.95 year. I've been...
I suggest a trip to the the USGS Store website (URL below). In addition to their signature topo maps they have an exhaustive array of books and other...
The raven pairs hired by the NPS follow rafting groups through most of the Canyon to do clean-up as needed. Once they get to around mile 220, they fly back to...
... Hi Bob, If you go to my page, you can see why I found them unacceptable: the minor topo lines on my sample are essentially invisible. There are a few other...
Mike, Welcome to the group. Some may argue that the RA Loop is a little much for your first GC hike, but if your extensive backpacking experience includes a...
A river trip assignment is much better than hanging around on the Tonto level. I suspect you get the more experienced ravens with the most seniority. Dick...
Hi Reid. I uploaded a TOPO sample to the photos section, but the resolution has been reduced so much that it is not at all representative of what you would...
For those who are not familiar with Philmont Boy Scout Ranch, I added a link. If nothing else, it may be an interesting read for some. It is about 200 square...
