Another one of those "you asked for it, now you'll get it" deals.
Rainbow Bridge via Redbud Pass. New information added 3/26/11.
Okay, so here's the deal. 13 miles from Rainbow Lodge to Rainbow Bridge. Hit the trail on the 2nd. Spend the first day hiking to First Water, about 8 miles in. Second day we'll head down to the bridge and back to camp as a dayhike. On the 4th, we'll hike back to our trucks. We'd meet in Page early on the 2nd - details to be PMed to participants. Friday night gathering and pre-hike meet and greet recommended.
Cost: Navajo Nation hiking permit= $5/day/person. Navajo Nation camping permit = $5/person/night. Total = $25.
Early April can get very cold, and there still remains the possibility of a snowstorm, so plans might be canceled or changed depending on weather. Obviously that will be discussed as the date gets closer.

Yeah, I talked to him last night. Winger won't be making it out, unfortunately. Looks like we'll have 5: Randal, myself, Toad, Larry, and a local friend who's not on the site, Clanton.

Rob...you didn't clarify a big concern of mine....will you bring a change of clothes this time?

My wife certainly wants me to.

April Fools!
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.

Larry, didn't you know? Rob only owns one set of clothing! With your deeply kind and charitable nature, I am sure you will be willing to bring along some pants and a shirt to donate to the cause.

Well...my 8 year son does have some stuff he's outgrown....

Thanks Rob for pulling this all together. Awesome trek! Presume the South Route hike description is in the works.

Good to meet Toad, Clanton, and Larry as well.

Chaco solstice get-together on the calendar?
