The Grand Canyon Hikers and Backpackers Association is pleased to announce the third Grand Canyon Hikers Symposium: One Foot Forward Saturday April 4, 2009 ...
It is my personal experience that some groups are allowed to park at the SK. Vans with logos, in fact. Companies that guide and do not have "official"...
Since the vast majority of nights spent under the Rim are in those three corridor campgrounds, I'd say it's true more often than not. Outside of groups like...
So this would mean you only have to ride one bus and no transfer ? Cool. I'm always looking for ways to deal with parking and shuttle. Last Escalante Route,...
Wow!! This will be a great day of GC storytelling adventures! Glad for all those who can be there and sad I can't. I've looked forward to meeting and...
John, hope you have a good trip. A suggestion, use the opposing digit that separates you from all the other animals in the wild kingdom - your thumb. I have...
Thanks Adrian. I am looking forward to presenting our history and hike. Wish you could be here. It will be as much a reward to deliver as it was to accomplish....
Oh yes, I'd have my thumb out during both of those walks. I guess if a clean hiker is more likely to get picked up, that'd argue for parking closer to New...
Hi, Has anyone been up to Cottonwood recently? We're going from the South Rim and up to Cottonwood for a night a week from Tuesday and I was wondering if...
Last year the NPS put up "South Kaibab Parking" signs directing people to the new parking lot across from Mather Point and adjacent to the Canyon View...
So close and yet so far ...... I'd love to be there but will be below the rim on that day. That's the first day of a week-long trip. Maybe I'll see some of you...
I really like the UA product as well. I find that the heat-gear line is as effective cooling as cotton but does not turn into a soaked sponge like cotton -- so...
BTW, hitchhiking with your thumb or a sign is not OK with NPS and is typically fairly consistently enforced by police-type-rangers on patrol above the rim. I...
About who can or cannot park at SK area -- comments from Slim are consistent (no big surprise) with what I know from guide information sessions at the Park. It...
Hi All: I have a permit in early April for a 6 day, 5 night hike-- Bright Angel to Phantom, out Grandview. Total mileage 42.7 (According to the NPS) ...
This site not only has gear reviews from "people like us", but it also tells you where you can get the item at the best price. I had ordered a backpack from...
Jim, this looks like a well-planned schedule to me, with a nice break before heading out for a long stretch on the Tonto. Day 3 can potentially be a bit long....
We'll be heading out for our first trip to Kanab Canyon in a couple of weeks. We'll be going via Hack or Chamberlain to miss the higher and presumably...
We've had a cancellation on our backpack trip to remote Clear Creek Canyon on the north side of the Colorado River. We are 3 mature, canyon-experienced...
Clearly we can tell this is somewhere below Kanab. I think you have been around there before... Could this be looking upriver approx the same place? Just...
Hmm ... Brian if you're right then the ledges/debris in the river in the lower part of the pic would be Matkat Hotel. Kind of looks right but that water is...
