South Canyon - Grand Canyon
Tanya and I headed to GC on sunday with intentions of going to Vaseys Paradise and back in a day via a suggested shortcut. I sort of made some unintentional errors and we didn't get all the way to the river, but had fun exploring a canyon that feeds into South Canyon. Our plans were to take a non-traditional shortcut into South Canyon that put us a short distance from the Colorado River and Vaseys Paradise. We made it as far as South Canyon and Bedrock Canyon confluence before I made the decision to head back. We got a late start and the "route" is very little used so I had no intention of trying to backtrack at night. A couple photos and maybe Tanya will have a few to add? Bedrock Canyon is really cool though and I would suggest it as a wonderful dayhike, but not the best entrance for a backpacking trip to Vaseys Paradise.

interesting shortcut. the lower canyon is a marvelous spot. when you return will you have time to explore the slot down there. it's upclimbable too, if you choose to explore from the bottom as far as you have time for.
looking forward to the photos. pretty area. can't remember if you guys have already been there or not.
