“he Grand Canyon - North Rim

Located on the northern edge of Arizona, as the eagle flies, the South and North Rims are only 12 miles apart.

For many years,. visitors have been able to join a mule trip down to the river level, and Phantom Ranch. The Park Service has been considering stopping the mule rides for environmental reasons. You should check with the park office as to whether you can reserve a mule tripintothe canyon. Otherwise, hiking is the only way to venture from the rim to Phantom Ranch.

“Town ,
if ya ever need anyplace to stay while ya travel let me know,,,,thanks for the help,calling now. number not working??????????”

“To properly prepare for a visit, it is best to bring clothing that you can layer. One of your best friends could be your polar fleece jacket topped with a waterproof or water-resistant shell. The shell is not only important in case it snows or rain, but it will keep you toasty warm in the wind that often comes up at the rim. You don't want to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to visit this marvel and then be forced to stand inside one of the lodges to stay warm because you don't have warm, dry clothing. Don't forget the hat and gloves either! Also be aware that temperatures can dip to zero at night. To find out more about the current weather conditions, be sure to visit my Weather page.

No problem. Take care.

The most common question asked of me while working as a Grand Canyon ranger and field guide was, "How many people die here each year?" The fascination with falling, injuries and death is never ending. To satisfy your curiosity, as well on how to prevent becoming a topic within it, there is an excellent book written by Thomas M. Myers and Michael P. Ghiglieri called Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon. The book is very well written and easy to read. It has taken a gruesome subject and turned it into a practical reference for those planning their trips to the Canyon, with even a touch of humor and hope to lighten the mood. Every known death from the 1800s up to the present is covered.

“Nomad1: Sounds good. I've been promising Tarabull, Laqtis, and the rest of the Michigan crew forever that I'd come up to see everyone.

Maybe I'll finally make it up there and do some hiking. Appreciate the offer!
