Anybody know what the conditions are like at Tuweep at the Grand Canyon during the summer? Way too hot? How about fires at night? Restricted yet? _________________ But let the mind beware, that though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious

What's too hot? Right now it's about 86 degrees F and going down to around 40 degrees F tonight. At the bottom of the Canyon it's basically the same weather we have here in metropolitan Phoenix, probably a tad hotter.

If you're contemplating hiking the Lava Falls trail, it's definitely too hot now, or anytime in the summer. Tuweep/Toroweap is only 2500 feet above the river, and maybe 6 - 7 degrees cooler. If it's anything like Phoenix weather at the river (and I'd imagine that it is...), that's way to hot to hike that trail. It's south facing, across a lot of black basalt, and no shade whatsoever.... _________________ The world is older and bigger than we are.

No hiking, just camping. But if it'll be 100 or so that'll be a no then... _________________ But let the mind beware, that though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious

It will be like being at 4300 feet in the Mohave/Great Basin transition. I bet high 90's would be the norm, if not 100. Especially when we're seeing 1-teens in Pheonix and Vegas. Tuweep is not exactly high desert...not exactly. _________________ "Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play.
