Raptor across 80 miles of Desert one way, or GA like clay if it’s wet. You will Rewarded with some of the Most Breathtaking Views of the Grand Canyon in your life! :)
Bonus- NO PEOPLE! No bus loads of Tourists trying to feed the deer, jamming up the sidewalks and generally needing a push off the South Rim.
I went there one Dec and almost didn’t make it back. I had to use cattle guards to clean the tires every time I crossed one.
You can dangle your legs over the cliff and watch the Canyon Rafters pass 3k’ below. I’ve spent 3days there alone, not seeing another person. It will touch your Soul..

Been there and it is great.
Incredible Area don’t you think? I’ve been going there for years, before they required a camping permit:(
I’ll be referencing the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument in the Navigation thread under Off Roading Your Raptor. You can get lost like a MFer down there if your not careful :)

Hey John - you have gpx tracks?
Jzweedyk above might. unfortunately I’m im very “low tech” map and compass guy. Pm me I’ll give you my number and I can tell you a few ways to get to it. I haven’t been there since I started using GAIA NAV App. The maps I love for all of UT. AZ. NV pretty much everything west of the Mississippi are the BENCHMARK
OFF-ROAD & RECREATION
I attached what the maps look like. They have GPS coordinates on their maps also, limited Topo info but some. Before I started using GAIA these maps were all I used and then a Garmin 650 snd now the maps and GAIA. ALWAYS HAVE THE MAPS ;)
I’m doing a Navigation Thread under
“ Off-roading your Raptor” forum.
