The Grand Canyon Hikers And Backpackers Association is pleased to announce the first Grand Canyon Hikers Symposium, to be held Saturday April 8, 2006, at the South Rim, Grand Canyon National Park.
The purpose of this symposium is to share hiking and backpacking exploits and explorations in the Grand Canyon, as defined by the geographical region from Lee's Ferry to the Grand Wash Cliffs, rim to rim. Presentations may include a hike or overnight backpack on the corridor trails and surrounding area, historical trails such as the North and South Bass, Tanner, Grand View, and any number of canyon routes.
