GC overnight
Posted: Nov 21 2014 2:44 pm
Planning on doing the Grand Enchantment Trail Spring 2015. Was curious about potentials for an overnight in the Grand Canyon before heading to Phoenix. Any recs?
Hi Surridge.
It's a difficult question to answer without knowing more about you and what you typically hike.
HAZ is a great resource though.

Adjust the criteria to meet your preferences and the results will change.
After you find some options you might enjoy, you'll need to contact the Backcountry Office to obtain a permit. Spring can be a very difficult time to obtain a permit at the Grand Canyon so it will be good to have a couple of different options in mind.
