Cove Canyon, Grand Canyon - road conditions & Go/No given weather forecast?
Bogleyites,
Have a trip planned next Thursday to go out and do the Cove canyon route per Todd's amazing book "Grand Canyoneering"
However, I keep seeing "30% chance of thunder storms" on the internet for the area for the next ten days. I called the Grand Canyon backcountry office and since they are on the south rim, they have no idea on the roads or conditions out in Toroweap.
Anyone have an update on the roads out to Toroweap?
Also - given the weather forecast, is it time to just figure out plan "B"?
Since we are California rubes who have never done that Canyon, any advice of the risk level given the forecast? Should we just plan on doing morning outings in Zion instead or just go to Vegas and cavort with dancing girls?
Want to be wise but not paranoid
Thanks!
Joe
