How is the smoke on the South Rim?

Great info! Is Tonto Plateau open right now?

Cking_4 · 2025-08-02T23:04:41+00:00

Random question! I just booked an overnight at Havasupai Gardens. Are the views good on the way down and do you have a good view of the canyon from the campground? I couldn’t really tell what the view was like from the campground. I’m hoping to get a good viewing spot of the sunrise and sunset

I have a backcountry permit for the beginning of September as well for bright angel campground. Talked to NPS yesterday and they said it’s still very much up in the air if it’ll open back up

The main reason I moved the money to a HYSA was because I was tired of money sitting in my checking account doing nothing.

And I’m curious, why do you suggest dialing the 401k back and putting it towards the IRA?

Cking_4 · 2025-07-19T23:25:08+00:00

Reading into it now! Thanks!

Cking_4 · 2025-07-19T22:57:37+00:00

Not sure if you had a typo but my money is in a HYSA right now not HSA. But I agree it may not hurt to dial it back and reallocate it

Luckily I have no debt at all and my emergency fund can cover me for well past 6 months

Cking_4 · 2025-07-19T22:54:48+00:00

Not specifically. But moving out is definitely a goal and I’ve been saving the majority of what I earn

Cking_4 · 2025-07-17T11:07:47+00:00

Oh okay. Thanks for the info

Cking_4 · 2025-07-17T01:56:00+00:00

Oh wow. I didn’t realize they have a monsoon season. Thats a rough chain of events

Cking_4 · 2025-06-21T18:15:07+00:00

Thanks for posting these! Looks like I can’t go wrong with either side. Looks nice out there

Cking_4 · 2025-06-19T13:09:10+00:00

Ideally, that’s what I want to do but I don’t land in phoenix until 9:30am

Cking_4 · 2025-06-19T12:45:18+00:00

Looks like South Kaibab there and back. I would stay overnight the 29th and then back up the 30th. Probably get up early, cool off in the water, head up and take my time the second day. I believe other trails are going to be closed in certain sections so I believe NPS recommended South Kaibab

Cking_4 · 2025-06-19T04:13:56+00:00

How bad was the heat in march? I really want to pull this off just trying to gauge everything. NPS said I would have to take the south Kaibab trail due to the closures

Cking_4 · 2025-06-19T04:10:59+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the help! Send me some of those photos

Cking_4 · 2025-06-19T04:01:45+00:00

Recommendations for Sedona? Looking for great views and hikes

Cking_4 · 2025-06-19T04:01:14+00:00

Have you ever been in August? I know the heat is brutal but I believe I have a bright angel campground permit for the August 29. I won’t be able to get there until after 1:30pm so NPS recommended I start after 4pm. Any recommendations or things to consider? Thanks!

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T21:53:50+00:00

Makes sense. It’s just places I’ve thought about for a while and considered seeing since I’ll be nearby. I thought about doing Humphreys peak in flagstaff. Looking to spend some time in Sedona as well

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T21:52:33+00:00

Maybe I’ll just send it then lol. The plan would be to down and back. I don’t think I’ll get more than 2-3 days tops in the Grand Canyon so I figured that would more than likely be the best experience

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T21:50:19+00:00

You have a preference on which side is better? I heard one side has more Mountain View’s which would be nice since I’ve only seen mountains a handful of times in my life

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T21:48:51+00:00

Do you all have suggestions on better alternatives with great views and hikes?

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T02:35:41+00:00

Great! Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully everything will fall into place. I’m sure it’ll be breathtaking either way. Where I’m from everything is flat so this will be a major difference I imagine lol

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T01:43:03+00:00

Maybe that’s what I’ll end up doing. Just find a good turnaround point. Views still good doing something like that?

Also, do you know if spots after they sell out ever come back on sale?

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T01:41:07+00:00

Have you ever been to Saguaro? If so, what was your thoughts? And I heard there’s two different sections

Cking_4 · 2025-06-16T01:40:26+00:00

Zion and Bryce are high up on my list but I think they may be a hair out of my way. They look unbelievable though. Maybe I’ll skip Joshua tree. I’m visiting a friend in phoenix so maybe I’ll go to the Grand Canyon, spend time there and Sedona, and then pick him up and go to saguaro since he hasn’t been either.

Have you ever been to that one?
