82 Mile Back and Packraft Loop through the Grand Canyon Starting at the New Hance Trail
A 4-day loop hike down Hades Knoll Route and along the Esplanade in the Grand Canyon to 150 Mile Canyon: “it is a strange feeling to be worried about having enough water when it is pouring rain”.
Water is always a challenge when hiking in the desert, especially in the western remote part of the Grand Canyon. Water dictates survival, comfort and fun, in that order.
