Went minimal on Colorado River Grand Canyon. Here is what made the cut.
We went Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek full trip starting at 6:00 AM. Canyon temperature inversions created variety. River miles measured progress, not trail.
Gear that worked: Lighter, GPS, Soft flasks.
Professional guide or private permit required.
Do your homework first.
