Realistic chances to get to Bill Hall Trail April 2014
I just got a permit to hike the Thunder River Trail off the North Rim April 9-12 and am wondering if anyone has ever accomplished getting to the trailhead at this time of year. I talked to the folks at Jacob Lake Inn and there's no snow on the ground currently, and the ongoing western drought looks....er...promising for a trip. But I have also experienced blizzards on the South Rim in April in a wet year...Any feedback/advise? Trying to decide if the risk is worth it when spendy plane tickets are involved.

A few years ago we canoed from Bull Head city to Lake Havasu. We camped out two nights. Great time!

I have a T-shirt that says "I can row a boat" on the front, and "Canoe?" on the back. My daughter had it made up for me for this past Christmas, since it was one of those oft-repeated parental jokes, the kind the kids learn to groan about by the time they are 13.Tortoise Hiker wrote:@azbackpackr

And yes, I'd like to do that run, and the entire lower Colorado, in fact. I'm working on it quite a bit this year.
