Water Taps
It looks like the only trail in the entire trail system at the South Rim of the Canyon which goes off of the Rim and has water taps on it is the Bright Angel Trail. Someone was telling me that there is a plan, or talk of a plan, or a rumor to install a line with water to a couple of locations on the South Kaibab. Does anyone know anything about this? I know some trails have seasonal water, and it looks like the Bright Angel and maybe one or two others have perennial water, but that isn't the same. It almost seems strange that there are so many trails, yet almost none have water. Given the climate at the Canyon, I mean.
