Re: Tonto Hike Rim Run

This will be a 2 day venture. Day one will be the caves and around Tonto. I'll trail run as many portions of the Tonto and Grandview as I can, but I don't think there are too many spots conducive to trail running on these sections. ](*,) Day 2 will be a run from BA over to Hermit on the Rim Trail (d...

Re: Escalante Hike Planned

Your comments are all awesome and really appreciated! Thank you! I actually have hundreds of Canyon Miles and years of Canyon hiking experience under my belt. The heat of Summer is not my favorite season, but I would rather be hot than cold! Additionally, I intentionally train and trail run in the P...

Tonto Hike Rim Run

Going to hike the Grandview, see the caves, hike around the Tonto, come up by way of the Spring, and top out. Day hike. Then trail run the 8 miles between Bright Angel and Hermit's Rest.

Re: Rim2Rim2Rim Hiker Needed

@cactuscat 'Spose I have to agree! My last trek down the SK crossed paths with 4 people between the TH and Cedar Ridge, then No One! I had the National Park in all its glory to myself! It was awesome! I have spent a lot of miles on the corridor trails and know that once I get a mile or two down ins...

Re: Rim2Rim2Rim Hiker Needed

@te-wa Mid-october should be a great time of year for such a trek! The year time we did this, the ground was snow-covered and icicles were in abundance! One of my thoughts, however, is carrying as lite of a pack as possible. I don't want to carry Winter gear again for all those miles in one day, if...

@chumley
Exactly. She's thinking Tanner or New Hance. Corridor is many times overpopulated! But I love it so much, I'm just gonna do it!

Re: Rim2Rim2Rim Hiker Needed

@The Hippy
That's why I' m going the last of May and first of June. We went May a while back and it was a little warm for a few miles. I thought about late September or very early October, and would still like to go again then.

Re: Rim2Rim2Rim Hiker Needed

Well, my goal is to backpack both ways, one day each way - call me old-fashioned. Carting my gear and sleeping on the North Rim, going Ultra lite. I thought about hiking it, but I didn't want to do it the easy way until after I met this challenge. The other times I did it took way too long for me. I...

Re: Rim2Rim2Rim Hiker Needed

Thanks for asking, but no...didn't make that one. My trip partner became ill, so I had to help him get out and we ended up doing South Kaibab to Phantom, then Indian Garden and out.

Rim2Rim2Rim Hiker Needed

I want to backpack the Canyon, South to North and back again. Light pack, no inner canyon over nights, maybe one recover day on the North Rim. Might need to go in early June, or late July. Looking for one or two very sturdy backpackers that would be interested so I'm not hiking this distance solo. A...

GCNP R3

Room for more to go on a possible R3, March 22-25. Whatever options you would like are fine, one night, both nights, etc. I might simply hang out at Ribbon Falls and Roaring Springs, or I might make a complete R3 out of it. I leave town the afternoon of 3/22, car camp, then head down to Cottonwood o...
