Skurka's next trip
Looks like andrew skurka will be spending some time on the Hayduke trail and in the Grand Canyon for his next trip that will take him through Zion NP and Arches NP, you can go to his website for specifics
No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength

You can find water there if you plan it right, most of the trails in Zion are in or around some sort of water, Arches is more dry but still some can be found in a few of the washes, and right after you come out of Arches the Coloraddy flows right through Moab, plenty of water in that there river. :p

Re: Skurka's next trip
8L is the minimum I would plan on being capable of carrying cross country, and skurka hikes alot farther in a day than most people.
