Which TH to use for an overnight TeleHunin / Telephunin?
We plan on doing Telephone & Behunin on the 1st week of June.
We were thinking of starting at the Grotto the day before (~18:00 start) and camp that night near Telephone Canyon TH + have an early start the next day to do TeleHunin / Telephunin (finish the day late afternoon?).
I was wondering if anyone has an opinion whether we should start near Lava Pt. (~8 miles, ↑814 ft, ↓1460 ft., ~+2 hr.shuttle to/from Springdale) instead of Grotto (~5 miles, ↑2805 ft, ↓279 ft., No shuttle).
Note:
- We do have a shuttle vehicle option, so that should not be an issue.
- We are not in favor of doing it as a one day trip
I'm not sure if the extra 2hrs. shuttle + extra 3 miles compensate for the ~2500' elevation gain, and seeking for feedback from folks who've done these options.
Feel free to suggest other options :)
Thx
