    Hike to the North Rim and back. Never had a finer time with the combination of a bluebird sky, the red rock, white snow, and the green ponderosa pine on the Roaring Springs Trail.

    I have done the R2R2R three times at this time of year. IMHO, microtracks are way overkill for Bright Angel and South Kaibab.

    I have never been to the area, but just looking at the topo map, it looks like a ski mountaineering gig at that time of the year.

    3 days would be a good legnth, but one would have to sleep along the course. Having gone 72 hours on 2 hours of sleep, I definately would not trust myself rappelling after 36+ hours without sleep.

    In my 3-year experience, the Spot 1 does not work in narrow slot canyons nor in thick woods. But, then, that is asking a lot. However, I did a test on a R2R2R in the Grand Canyon. To my surprise,...
