Ok thanks again for the info. The best I can tell everything north of the rim is in Coconino national forest, and therefore is open...? Does that seem correct?

I would do either the Highline like you said or take the Derrick up to the spring. Also, check out Babe Haught to Knoll Lake. You can park along ...

hello all... I recently moved here from the east coast and planned on doing a weekend backpack trip for labor day. It's going to be a few of us so I wasn't looking for anything too challenging, so my plan was to take highline trail 31 near the hatchery, then take that back to horton springs to camp....
