Last Minute Grand Canyon Backpack

Post by writelots »

I've got a couple of extra spots on my group permit for a Grand Canyon corridor trails trip. I'm billing it with ABC as a "Beginner's Trip" because of the easy pace - however, I'm open to anyone who wants to come along at this time. Driving up Thursday, Friday and Saturday night and BA Campground, Sunday night at IG (you can skip this if you really want to).

Drop me a line if you want a quickie canyon fix... :y:

Didn't know if I should add myself since I am already committed (no comments please ;)) ...

The anticipation is killin' me :D
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 am in AZ and was looking for a hiking partner to do S. Kaibab to river and up Bright Angel again on Friday, Nov. 26. It sounds like you all are staying overnight at the bottom on Friday, but it would be great if I could hike down with you on Friday. I was planning on driving down to the canyon on Thursday afternoon. I have a hotel room for Thursday, but not Friday. What time would you be starting your decent down s. kaibab on Friday? Thanks!

Drat, I forgot they were going this weekend, I could have looked for them! I ran down the Kaibab today, across to the campground area to fill my bottles and then hustled back up Bright Angel. Chilly day, but nice in the sun!!
