If you are prepping for Colorado River Grand Canyon, read this first.
We went Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek full trip starting at 6:25 AM. Rain events rare but dramatic when they hit. River miles measured progress, not trail.
Key considerations: Bring one extra liter.
Bottom line: Poles help more than you think.
Grateful for this one.
