[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 2830187, member: 1"] [B]This backpack route was 35 miles round trip.[/B] On day one, heading down the Bright Angel trail, snow-cover petered out a couple thousand feet below the South Rim...as expected. The temps increase about 5 degrees for each `1`,000 feet of elevation loss. First night camp was at the recently renamed Havasupi Gardens Campground. Always a favorite spot for me. Second night was 12 miles further along the West Tonto Trail to the Granite Rapids Campground on the shore of the Colorado River...4,400 feet below the South Rim. Third night was 12 miles back at Havasupi Gardens and next day back up the to Bright Angel trailhead on day 4. .
