Hermit Not Alone
April 16-21, 2004
Here we go again - yet another
well planned trip to the Grand Canyon. Originally I did this
trip with a club and had over 7 people sign up and/or interested.
Guess what- it was another solo trip. Unfortunately a buddy
had to cancel just days due to a project schedule change at work.
Dilemma? Go and lose the funds or do another solo hike (What
do you think!)
Itinerary
The current trip was the Hermit, Tonto, part of the North Kaibab,
Old Bright Angel, and Bright Angel trails. The below
was the planned
itinerary with the day hikes:
