Terry, It may be hard to get an accurate figure of this as I think commercial companies are probably more apt to report and call on potentially hazardous...
I have been surprised how little cell phone reception there is in the Grand Canyon and on the reservations. Does anyone know why that is? It seems like Phantom...
You and I may feel that way, but based on the public comment when cell towers were introduced in Yellowstone, not everyone agrees. David Witton Director,...
I agree that not having Cell phone access could help with safety from time to time but, and it's a large but, do we want the Park Service making deals with...
There is cell phone service at Badger Rapid and Soap Creek. With Alltell I have 2 bars. There's also cell phone service from Indian Gardens on up the trail...
We already have a some of these. In 1997 on a commercial trip, we spent a long day in Havasu Canyon. Walking back to the mouth, I stumbled upon a huge metal...
I would think that cell phone usage in the canyon violates the sensitive nerve of private boaters.... maybe we could also place stock orders while we are...
I support your thoughts, Larry. I firmly believe that cell phones change the personality of any endeavor, for some reason they just appear to be more "active"...
Easy now, I am one of those private boaters but, I hadn't thought of buying or selling stock from the river. Think how much we could make if we were at...
I think it is very nice to be able to identify the Grand Canyon, central Nevada, and a very few other areas every Sprint TV commercial, espically during...
On my fifth trip, I final went below Diamond Creek. I will never take out at Diamond again!. There is still plenty of rapids, hiking and fun below DC. There...
Why would you get off the river one minute before it's absolutely necessary? It took you years to get there! Pierce Rapid is quite something, and bound to be...
I agree! I long to be back down there. I can't wait for my June launch next year. We camped in a large cove on the left side of the Lake. Beautiful sandy...
I love the lower grand canyon. Every time I leave the canyon walls... I wonder if I will ever be back. The canyon has changed my life in more ways than I...
... Phillip, I can't help but wonder a bit about the simplicity from the standpoint of the rescuer. Receiving one of these has absolutely no information. If...

... The quantity and quality of information provided depends on the user. Each "SPOT" device comes with a website that allows you to personalize information...
Thanks for all of the input. At this point I'm leaning toward renting the 18' boat. As much as I'd like to row my 16', I think for a trip of this length my...
I had 18' Cat tubes and didn't like how big and piggish they were on smaller rivers... so I downsized to 16' Aire Jag tubes and its the best boat I've had...
Without regard to handling, the biggest question for experienced boaters going to the Grand is, can I carry my share of the gear and food. We can probably all...
a prepaid phone calling card takes most of the bite out of the phantom pay phone- i think mine charged a buck or half a buck to connect and three cents a...
Neither one is necessary. I think Tubby was the one who said, after all, it's the GC. It's pretty forgiving. The 16-foot SB is plenty and the 16-foot cat is...
We just skipped Phantom. If Aunt Edna died, she would still be dead at the end of the trip. If the house burned down, the ashes would be waiting for me when I...
I've rowed the grand in 18', 16', 14' rafts, a dory and an Aire Jag. The jag was as stable and easy as the bigger rafts. The problem I had with it was load...
Phil, I row an 18ft non-SB Havasu. I have also rowed a 14 ft cat. While the cat was great fun, I didn't have anybody else or much gear on board, (we had a ...
Hi all, the BOR is forecasting that for November the peak flow from Glen Canyon Dam will be approx. 13,500 cfs and the low will be 7,500 cfs each day. For...
And there are still folks out there that say getting all that increased use in the winter to get a 50-50 user day allocation split (which isn't right anyway as...
FYI, tom ... http://www.pewminingreform.org/pr-2009nov5.html After nearly 100,000 members of the public called for protecting the Grand Canyon from mining, a...
Thanks for that Tom. I had a chance to pass this on to some it might matter to and I did. 100,000 comments...WOW, it might be time for reform to an antiquated...
