Congratulations, saltydog! I am sure you will enjoy that trail. Be prepared, in some summers August can be rainy.

My plans: Grand Canyon R-2-R day hike about May 16. Thanks to Julius S for making the transportation possible.

Later in the summer, I want to do the hike posted by raphus: Swiftcurrent pass in Glacier National Park. Our family is planning to visit GNP, so one of the days, I am doing that hike! I've created a Google map showing the route. Gmap4 map: Swiftcurrent Pass

I'm itching to get to Kern Hot Springs on the HST, since I missed it with my Pants Pass hike last summer. But it may have to wait another year.
