| no partners | | The GCHBA's biannual service project in the Grand Canyon is one of my favorite ways ever to enjoy the Grand Canyon. Not only do you get to hike down and stay at the BA campground for multiple nights, but you get to really GET INTO the canyon - or more correctly, get the canyon into you. You get dirt in places you never could from just walking as you kneel in a muddy trench to clear out pipe drains or scrub ceilings in the restrooms or paint the window sills on the ranger residence or break up dams in Bright Angel creek to let the fish spawn.
Its like being a ranger just for the week, and the people are always a trip.
Thanks to the Grand Canyon Hikers and Backpacker's Association for organizing and sponsoring the event and to Rob Jones for herding the cats so I don't have to for a change!  |
