Anyone ever backpacked in the Grand Canyon?

November through April are the "temperate" months.

I know- and just the months I'm teaching school and only have 2 personal days a year to use.
Oh, trust me- if I could go any other time I would. I don't have a normal job and can't take off time during the school year.
Plus, DH has to ask for leave off in November for the following year and since he's low on the seniority list- he doesn't ever get weeks like spring break off.

I know it'll be crazy, crazy hot, but I'll be OK. I figure I already deal with 100-105+ degree temps here during the summer (with 80% humidity)... it'll just be tough and we'll have to have plenty of water.



Thanks for the backpacker site- looks really great!! I appreciate you sharing it!

eh, plan around spring or winter break if you can. It's really brutal down there.
