The Kanab Creek Wilderness Area, bordering the north and western side of Grand Canyon National Park, contains a labyrinth of canyons converging, ultimately flowing into the Colorado River deep in the Park. While none of our hiking is in Grand Canyon National Park proper, it would be impossible to know that this is Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, not National Park land. On our journey we will hike through the finest redwall narrows in canyon country. While camping on huge Esplanade terraces (a wide, flatish Grand Canyon expanse on top of the Supai Formation), we will be treated to dramatic panoramic views.
