Grand Gulch Dates

Post by PaleoRob »

Alright here's the poll for the Grand Gulch trip. There's basically two options I'm looking at date-wise, but if you have a third, please let me know. I'll leave this one open for a week, but we need to get on permits soon.
See here for more hike details: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4665

Which date has no snow :) ?
For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.

I don't have a conflict with either yet, and I'll sign up for whichever is chosen.

Hopefully whichever one gets chosen!

Ambika, sorry you'll be gone, but sounds like quite the adventure anyway!

I changed my mind to the earlier date to increase our chances of snow! :sl:

Actually, the Rainbow Bridge trek viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4650 the first weekend in April (Easter weekend?) makes me want to maximize the days in between...

My vote is the earlier date for the same reason as Randy... longer space between the two trips the better, especially considering the considerable drive to both :o . I won't be able to make a really firm commitment until mid-Feb, though, as I don't know how this teaching thing is going to go (in terms of time eaten, etc.) I may end up having to choose between this one and the Rainbow Bridge trip. AK! Choices! :?
