Future High Adventure: Grand Canyon National Park. October 2018. We had discussion with many club members on many recent hikes about the potential for this trip and know there is a bunch of interest. If you haven't already contacted Mandy about being on information interest list and would like to be, just drop me an email. Jim had written down many good hike options and I hope to formulate them in to a group email once I have some time to study the maps.
