Need Some Help Here
Thank you to everyone that has posted or emailed recommendations for my upcoming car road trip out west. If you've been to the Grand Canyon and have some advice, I could really use your help. I'd appreciate any advice you would have for the North Rim, South Rim, camping, hiking, etc at the Grand Canyon. I might be by myself, in which case hiking into the canyon would not be an option … unless you know otherwise. I hope to get some breathtaking views of the canyon, have time to read, journal, pray, and the like over a few days there. There are permits and other fees that I'll need. I'll gladly take any advice you have. Thanks!
Dude! I was at the GC some years ago – I’ll not tell you how many, you’ll be far too amused. We visited the N. Rim as well and as spectacular as it was, I have lived since that time with the regret that we never went down into the canyon. If there is any possible way to do this, I’d recommend doing (almost) anything necessary to make that happen. Otherwise you may just come away with another one of those promises to yourself. There are a number of organizations that lead tours down into the canyon. You’re probably already aware of that, or I’m sure a quick websearch would reveal. I highly suspect that you can just sign-up, single or not, to go along with the “tour”. Usually such deals just have a minimum number of people required to make it work. Of course if you’ve already investigated this and know otherwise, then just ignore me. But do make every effort to get to the bottom of this thing!!!
