| no partners | | | The N. Bass Trail is a rigorous rim-to-river backpack off the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Originally an old Indian route it was further developed by Wm Bass about 1900 for tourists and hunters. Ray Peale, Kathy Gish and myself tackled this adventure during a heatwave over 3 1/2 days in the canyon. Challenges were the heat, creek brushiness and over 6700 cumulative elevation gain. Highlights were spectacular views, oasis campsites along White Creek, the Tapeats Narrows one-way, Bass Camp area exploration, Shinumo Creek crossings and the Colorado River. We climbed out a day early via the Tonto Trail because of the 100 degree temps in the canyon. This was a fun challenge! Elisabeth Wheeler |
