Six Days Under the Rim

Balzaccom,

Have left (2) links on a personal message to you with specific hike details. There are several crux moves required. Two of which are obtaining a Grand Canyon backcountry permit and finding and driving the access road. The access road crosses Havasupai Tribal land with a checkpoint and $25 access fee. The first half of the hike is essentially canyoneering and very slow going.  Multiple mini-route finding miss queues, re do's abound, lot's of scrambling and slow going very common. Elves Chasm is essentially a mandatory river runner iconic stop and see and could become crowded especially during the height of the commercial season. Best to spend an evening at Toltec Beach and get a first light start on the 1.5 miles, two plus hour hike to experience solitude. The second half is typical Grand Canyon hiking with all the associated attributes.
