I could do this anytime 3rd week of March to April 15th. I have a raft trip thru Gr Cyn starting April 20th. Could also do later in May. I live in Kansas, so have to plan extra time for driving.

I have done the Kane Gulch and out Bullet Canyon leg of Grand Gulch. My trip was cut short by a fellow hiker that experienced a health problem. I have always wanted to go back to finish the hike. I ... |

Curious to know if you drew a permit for the 2015 river run. Per your suggestion, I may try to get on a private trip for 2016. -Don |

Thanks for the trip report link. It was indeed, the "Ledge" I mentioned. As a young Marine, I had lots of skydiving and rappelling experience. I have no fear of heights. However, the Led ... |

The drainage with the "Ledge" is the 2nd major drainage coming into Royal Arch Creek from the east. It meets RA Creek at approximately the 3600 ft contour. If you zoom in a bit, you'll see ... |

I meant to ask: On your trek to Elves Chasm, did you traverse "The Ledge"? I did it in 2012. I was happy it was a short section! -Don |

Lucky, you! I'm a bit jealous. If you don't mind my asking, what does a person expect to spend on a private trip? (I won't be offended if you don't want to say.) I'd love to do a private trip that ... |
