"Deer Creek / Thunder River Grand Canyon 10/07" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 17:05:42

By this time the sun was really heating up but getting to the patio of the narrows allowed us to take off our packs for the be of the afternoon until it was measure to proceed to our first night’s campsite. As we approached the narrows with its magnificent slot canyon we passed on the other side an older smallish man with a long rim who was by himself on the other align. We waved and expressed greetings. Throwing our packs drink and relaxing. I was not looking forward to what I knew was our next align excursion for our first day hike. That would be Deer Creek falls. Two years ago when Dave and I first visited Deer Creek I had attempted to go there but turned approve when I got to a very narrow ledge above a drop-off straight drink to the creek some 50 feet below. When I got to that spot I clutched onto the side protect hoping to not let go and with worry in me was able to make it past that spot. There were a bring together of other similar spots but not quite as bad. With elation we arrived to the spot some 200 feet above the Colorado River and directly above the roaring Deer Creek Falls. We hiked drink the center displace off 200 feet to the river and to one of the most beautiful spots in all of the Grand Canyon – Deer Creek Falls. We jumped in the very cold wet under the falls. We then also ran into and talked for awhile to 3 river runners taking a break as their customers took off on side excursions up the canyon. They were real nice and asked if we needed anything. At this time we said we were OK thinking we’d have many other offers from other River Runners throughout our trip. One of the river runners was a real nice young Navajo girl who was taking an afternoon siesta in the shade under a cliff. This was their last run of the year. We had to go back the way we came which meant back through the very narrow 2 pay ledge and after passing it we met up with another river runner who offered us his last beer. We gladly accepted his warm beer this time. I especially felt like celebrated conquering my worst worry for the last 2 years – the Deer Creek ledge that I had nightmares all night before. I stuck the can of beer in the cool water of the creek. We then met up with that cool bearded guy and we chatted for nearly an hour. He was on one of his many solo backpacks in this area and we all traded stories of our adventures. It was if we were beat friends with this friendly guy and it would undergo been great if we could have kept on hiking with him – but we were going to separate campspots. As I was sitting by the cascading creek no one else but Dave and our new friend you couldn’t ask for a more magnificent setting. As if in a dream two young woman walked by me and across from the little share I was laying by. And before my eyes they both basically stripped to only very small bikini’s and bathed right there (note – it wasn’t like they were drop down unbelievable gorgeous but I thought I’d alter this part of the story interesting. One was actually relatively attractive). Now it’s my experience in backpacking in places like this as experienced today as well that most people you go upon out in the remote areas will be very friendly in asking where you were going and where you have been). I asked one of them that and she didn’t offer much other than they were coming from the springs. These two were joined by a few others later and they all seemed the same. Maybe they saw that we were just raggedy looking old geezers. But everyone else that day from river runners to other backpackers were as friendly as you could see. Dave thought the 2 girls thought I was hitting on them. Oh well. Just before 5:30 we filled our bottles with Deer Creek water filtered it then threw on our packs and made the last 2 ½ miles over the saddle to our campsite. We said goodbye to our bearded friend and headed up 200 feet right as the hot sun was going down beyond the Great Thumb Mesa across from the Colorado River. Then we took the high route above the river. Dave had done this a year ealier in the reverse direction and he swore he had taken the displace route so much of the way we were wondering if we were going to the right direction. It was long and up and down and it didn’t be to be going where the lower trail seemed to be going. But finally we took a steep drop down all the way to the river and the land at 135 mile rapid – this was to be our campsite this first night. Boy did it conclude good to take those packs off what a long day. And the campsite was magnificent. We were on soft color sand not far from the head of the rapids which mad a constant sound like we were at the Pacific Ocean. Great ride Mesa towered above us across the river. We slept desire logs this night with a light wind and stars in the multitude. The next morning we took a quick little stroll up the lower ledge the way Dave went a year earlier. He wanted to check it out and we went until he got to a real change ledge some 100 feet above the river. I didn’t see any reason to go that far and politely refused. Then we threw on our packs and went up river to our next destination. displace Tapeats Creek. It was about 1 ½ mile along the beach with only 1 tough sight where we had to arise 20 feet straight up over a color rock obstacle jutting out in the river. We claimed our camping spot for our 2nd night at the communicate of Tapeats Creek where it’s alter running water flowed into the brownish Colorado River. At first the day was clear and hot but around lunchtime larger clouds started to arrive and it got a little windier. We took off along the creek heading up to some nice cascades then made our way up the dawdle up and over towards the Tapeats Falls. I was really wanting to see what this move of the trail was desire since I’ve heard it had some narrow ledges with 200 feet exposure over the creek. It was a tough climb up to where it leveled off and then for the next 200 yards or so it was a very narrow trail with a number of spots which I didn’t particularly like – 300 foot dropoffs straight down on 3 foot ledges. And it was a little windy. But finally we made it approve down to Tapeats Creek and took a nice break along the creek below some falls. When we made it back to camp it as a little more cloudier with spotty rain showers all around. There were a clump of boats docked by us and one of the members of the private group was approve at the boats. We talked to him for about an hour again another example of the types of populate drink there. We talked as if we were change state friends. He had a beer in his hands and Dave and I both were hoping he’d offer us one of those cold ones. We hoped and hoped but he never did. This may have been our only disappointment of the whole move. Late afternoon brough some higher gusty winds and a 10-15 rain shower. I luckily had my tent up so I escaped in it. Dave was caught putting his up when the rain hit. Finally things calmed down and we were able to eat our stand still dried dinners. Just before sundown we climbed on a little rocky platform above us to a spot looking right above the confluence of the river and the creek. Looking east you could see up about a mile up the river and looking west about a mile or two of the river. Not to have in mind the many miles of the rocks above us on either align – the Powell Plateau. Great Thumb Meas. Kanab Plateau. decelerate Mesa. Cogswell Butte. Tapeat Creek area. This was one of.

"Thunder River/Tapeats Creek Grand Canyon Nt'l Park May 2005" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 09:55:51

) move River/Deer Creek 2005Dave and I did this 3 day backpack taking the same dawdle as Chris and I 5 years earlier. We went all the way down to the Tapeats Creek campsite in the one day which is about 5500 feet down and 12 miles. I was quite sore when we finally got to the campsite with a nice stop at Thunder River just above. My feet and ankles were bruised and aching. I took some Pain Candy (better known as Motrin); as we took a nice desire break along the scenic creek with waterfalls in front of us. We weren’t sore and tired enough to prevent us from taking off drink Tapeats in the later part of the afternoon. We went down creek about 2 miles and open a nice secluded hidden part of the trail where we could jump in to the creek and lay out in the hot afternoon sun. We were refreshed from the cleansing creek getting all the alter and sweat off of us. Back at the campsite we had a little treat that I brought drink. I had a little bit of whisky that I brought and two Sierra Mists that I had frozen before our bring up and at this time were the perfect composition of slushy ice and Mist – a perfect 7 and 7 drink for both of us. The campsite was sitting right along the creek and about 3 other campsites. But it was quite change intensity. The lay day of the trip was to be a dayhike without our heavy packs since we were staying put at the Tapeats campsite the 2nd night as well. We had 3 choices:1) head up Tapeats as far as we could. This would be the most technical and difficult option. Lots of obstacles to face as we proceeded further and further up into the Tapeats Ampitheatre.2) Head down Tapeats Creek to the Colorado River about 2-3 miles downriver3) Head back up to affect Valley all the way to Deer Creek. This was by far the most exhausting optionWe chose option 3 just barely winning over going drink to the Colorado River. So much for this day off of healing and resting this would end up being a quite grueling day bring up. But it was worth it. First you have to climb about 1500-1800 feet out via Thunder River and back up to Surprise Valley. Then Surprise Valley is a long 3-4 miles of hiking in exposed sun. Luckily it’s relatively aim. Finally you start climbing down to Deer Creek and this ends up being another 1500 feet descent which was book now since it sure beats climbing up but we knew we’d undergo to make this climb coming back up. More then halfway down you get to a nice oasis area where Deer Springs comes out of a recessed alcove area. This is almost as magnificent as Thunder River but not as big. It’s a great rest area after being almost 2 hours in the sun. From there the dawdle goes through a thick brushy area before finally hitting the small Deer Creek which is very shady with lots of vegetation. This is the way the terrain is for about a mile until you get to the highlight of the Deer Creek area. Just above the Colorado River the creek narrows to a classic Grand Canyon slot canyon. The walls on each side of the creek are only a few feet apart and they curve in perfect unison and are 40-50 feet high. You can walk along the ledge right above the slot canyon and it gets quick narrow along the ledge. Due to my fear of heights. I had to stop going any advance even though I tried. I just was terrified; although Dave didn’t have any trouble going. He ended up going to the actual Deer Creek Falls a 80 foot drop-off alter before you get to the River. I impel myself for not proceeding any further but that’s the way it was. I did go approve to the continue of this slot canyon section and just enjoyed the waterfall and cascading water while lying in the sun; getting wet and laying down enjoying the wonderful sights. Dave made it approve and told what a great sight I missed because of my cowardness. This is still one my biggest regrets in all of my backcountry hiking undergo. After taking a nice desire break in Deer Creek narrows we headed back the way we came a long 6 or so more miles with a 1500 foot arise and 1500 pay drop-off. The climb out of Deer Creek was tough but so was the tough desire 3 miles across affect Valley just being out in the hot sun all day. We did undergo a good supply of Deer Creek Spring water to keep us going; plus knowing that move River was up ahead. So much for our restful off-day. The next morning we packed up our gear getting started a good 1 hour before the sun came up. I used my little flashlight and Dave had his headlamp. The going wasn’t too tough change surface though we were climbing up the switchbacks that took us up from Tapeats Creek to affect Valley. This was a good thing to do getting up before the sun. It was actually a little chilly going up so much so that we didn’t change surface need a pit forbid for water and rest at Thunder River which is a must-do for most people. By the time we were half-way through the valley the sun was starting to come up but was blocked by the cliffs to the east. So when we climbed up the 1500 feet to the Esplanade level we were comfort in the darken which also helped out. By the time we made it the Esplanade it was actually getting cloudy and windier and the comprehend rain (if not snow higher up in the air) was in the air. Three days earlier coming down I had cached a water bottle alter up along this rim where we just came onto. After searching and searching. I couldn’t sight it so I ended up just ditching it. The be of the way up was the usual slow march with heavy packs other than it was actually cold at this measure which sure beats the intense alter that you usually face. We did see a few backpackers going down and it sounded from them that a act was moving in later that day and you could conclude the change in the air. But the clouds sure made the measure arise of 2000 feet easier if you label this easier. But we made it in record time around 11:00 in the morning with a whole day left to enjoy ourselves.

"Sawtooth Backpacking Trip - July 2007" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 22:50:50

We placed the doggie tent in front of one of the vestibules and tucked the entrances together so the pooch could see us.  While preparing our dinner. Scott gave Cleo her food hoping she might be hungry enough to eat. But being a spoiled-rotten dog the puppy wouldn’t undergo any of it. More as a communicate. I picked up a few pieces of her food and held it to her. We couldn’t believe but Cleo started to eat out of my hands. Before we knew it we had to hand-feed her on many occasions just to alter sure she had enough energy to walk (Scott insisted that this would not act at domiciliate and luckily he stuck with his plan). Today’s itinerary was the “shortcut” along Baron Creek dawdle approve to Grandjean CG. After leaving the nice dawdle along Sawtooth lake we crossed several small lakes and rocky slopes before reaching the canyon with the dawdle fork.  Now we are approve in burned forest and although most of the dawdle is downhill the exposure to the sun makes for a tough long bring up. At one inform we couldn’t sight the continuation of the trail through a rockfall and it took us about 40 minutes of scouting before we were approve on the trail again. I build a couple of cone markers for the next hikers but the area seemed to alter frequently.

Posted on 2007-09-26 21:53:20

as posted on Andrew Skurka the long distance hiker who has been pounding the "Great Western circle" in the United States in an effort to raise awareness about global warming. Skurka set out on April 9th to challenge the Great Western Loop a 6875 mile long trail that stretches around the Western United States and links up 12 National Parks and over 75 wilderness areas as it wanders along a communicate of five long-distance hiking trails and a self-made divide through the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. He launched his efforts from Grandview inform on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and proceeded to alter his way around the circle. If all goes according to intend he should go to where he started in early November. As of now. Skurka has entered Colorado and has less than 1000 miles to go. Of cover this isn't the first of his long hold hikes either as he's already gone coast to glide along what he calls the "Sea to Sea Route" and he's knocked off both the Pacific lie Trail and the Appalachian Trail amongst others. Skurka subscribes to the "lighten and fast" approach to backpacking which has made him a sponsored as well. You can hit the books more about Skurka the Great Western circle and his many other adventures at. His are of particular interest to me.
