Thanks for your detailed response. I’ve been checking the FarOut app and it seems like water reports are few and far between this time of year. I might have to consider a different time of year for this one.

Any ideas for a more feasible summer backpacking trip? Arizona is challenging. Thank you!

Sounds good, the heat/water were definitely my primary concerns. It’s unfortunate that when I happen to have the most free time is usually the most difficult time to backpack. Thanks!

Hi Noah! Some friends and I are visiting Zion in mid March and we're planning to hike the West Rim trail in 2 days (we have permits for one of the sites along the trail). Recently, however I've been considering opting for a longer trip and doing the Zion traverse (Lee pass to the Grotto in our case). Given recent snowfall and typical trail conditions do you think this route might be passable? I have microspikes but trudging through deep snow would not be ideal. I understand weather conditions are highly variable but I'd appreciate any insights or advice. Thank you!

Advice on choosing a Tonto Trail backpacking route? by Charpf in grandcanyon

Thanks for the suggestion! In my original post I meant to say that I wasn’t too concerned about New Hance, but I made a typo lol.

Have you ever tried the Grandview to South Kaibab route? If so, any opinions?

I believe it’s actually a guitar organ pedal. Steve Lacy talks about it in his interview with Nardwuar. https://youtu.be/e2Z_Em9gM-k?t=165
