On the South rim we've done every rim to river trail as well as the entire Tonto Plateau between the South Bass and the Tanner trail. On the North rim we've been to Thunder River, Tapeats Creek, Deer Creek and Clear Creek. We've dragged a few people along with us over the years and haven't lost one yet. People interested in backpacking in this area may find some useful information in my trip reports. I've backpacked in many areas, from the Sierra Nevada's in California to the Adirondack mountains of northern New York State.
Nothing compares with the sheer grandeur, immensity, and beauty of the Grand Canyon.
