Re: Benches on Siphon Draw Trail

Thanks for the good information.. They belong in the park, not on the trail in the wilderness. Perhaps i want to build a shrine to my Uncle who passed on the flatiron with reflecting pools and such.. too bad for me because its just wrong..

RF is non-ionizing radiation, so there are no take away effects or levels like standing at a nuclear reactor. that kind of Radiation will heat you up, or burn you.. if that did not happen you should be good.

Re: Benches on Siphon Draw Trail

Benches first, road now, paved next The land is a legacy brand and we are the care takers, these metal benches go against the entire leave no trace ethic! The point is that no one stepped up when they installed the benches now they feel free to do whatever, which according to the ranger is hacking t...

Re: Benches on Siphon Draw Trail

I hope I am not violating forum guidelines by saying the park's purpose, at least sans plowed roads and rest stops, would be to weed out the ignorant and unprepared. (Think of it as serving the modern world's sabre-tooth tiger role ...) , , The people we spoke with said the park desk gave them a ma...

Re: Benches on Siphon Draw Trail

The benches were first, now they have hacked up the trail at the entry of the canyon, they want a road to"rescue people" perhaps they should stop sending people in flip flops and a can of coke with a paper map toward the flat iron, I ran into four couples that thought they could get to the...

Re: Benches on Siphon Draw Trail

He told me people wanted these benches, I said do you have a name, he said no, I asked do you have a petition he said no, I w...

Re: What's the best GPS?

I have the garmin 62sc, this new model has a camera that geotags your pictures. i reccommend this style over the touch screens, because they have better antennas, and buttons. touch screes are a pain. Save the money on paying for maps, you can get AZ Topo for Free, just google AZ topo.. it has all t...

Benches on Siphon Draw Trail

Hello, My first post. Really enjoying the hiking. Made it up to the flatiron with my wife recently and I was kind of miffed by the new bus stop style benches placed in the wilderness by scouts apparently. They totally kill the landscape since they are bright aluminum, I suspect they will be just mag...
