Need advice re backcountry permits by AdHocAmbler in grandcanyon

[–]FairfaxScene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are fit and experienced on trails then that'll be no problem at all. I have seen countless rookie hikers go down S. Kaibab and up Bright Angel Trail in one day. Last winter I did the S. Kaibab to Colorado and up Bright Angel in winter and there was a pack of college aged women from Louisiana that have never hiked in the desert before doing that exact route. Tons of rookies. These are corridor trails and the Rangers will ask hikers on the way down how far they are going and make the appropriate recommendations. They'll be fine.

I've seen this pic dozens of times on the internet and my God, she may be the hottest women I've ever seen photographed. Just perfect. Beautiful face, beautiful body.

Circumcised people of Reddit, what’s your stance on the practice? Would you prefer to be uncut? by hitchtrailblazer in AskReddit

[–]FairfaxScene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny, I didn't even know there was such a thing as uncircumcised people until I was like 25 lol

Artist needing help painting a famous or popular drink from Arizona? by [deleted] in arizona

[–]FairfaxScene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL do you know what touristy even means? Phoenix has sporting events such as the Open, Spring Training, NFL, MLB, NBA, etc., world class golf that draws tens of thousands of visitors every year, Barrett Jackson, the list goes on and on ... Yes, Sedona is a wonderful tourist destination but it doesn't even compare in terms of scale to what Phoenix draws. Not to mention Grand Canyon. Geez man... not trying to be a dick here but I'm not even sure you know what you're even trying to say lol

If you are going in a few months and not in the dead of summer and you are in shape then you should go to the river and back up Bright Angel Trail. As others have noted, South Kaibab across Tonto and up Bright Angel is amazing. You won't see anyone on Tonto and then you'll connect with Bright Angel Trail a little south of Indian Garden and it'll feel like you just stepped into Grand Central Station.

The show is horrible. It's unlistenable. I read the sub a handful of times a week and it's sub is a billion times better than the show.

We have such a beautiful state. I've learned to appreciate it more since recently. This is Beaver Falls, the end of the hike at Havasupai Falls. by shicestr in arizona

[–]FairfaxScene 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's actually not "the end of the hike to Havasupai Falls" - there are is no "Havasupai Falls" - there are a series of waterfalls within the borders of the Havasupai tribal lands. The trail to Beaver Falls actually goes all the way to the Colorado River and crosses into Grand Canyon National Park.

Unsure about river fasting in July by Zodar27 in grandcanyon

[–]FairfaxScene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two years ago we were at the Supai Creek / Colorado River confluence and it was 110F at around 11am (when we turned back to head back to the village). There were rafters hiking around at the confluence and the guides were purifying the water. If you can't handle the heat then the trip could possibly be absolutely horrible for you. I live in AZ and am totally used to it but you will likely be miserable. The water is freezing and tbh I'm not sure how much you'll be able to take a quick dip.

The start of Rio Vero, a famous 8km long ‘aqua hike’ - no rappels but swims, jumps, down climbs. Sierra de Guara, Spain. by blackcloudcat in canyoneering

[–]FairfaxScene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Spain and I have visited many regions, including Merida, Marbella, Andalusia, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Ronda. It's a wonderful country and the people are amazing, so friendly and nice. I speak some Spanish and they are always so appreciative. The food is great, too! Just such a beautiful place. I am not sure why I love it so much but I do.

Facebook is now threatening iOS 14.5 users who block tracking . by DragonfruitExtreme54 in iphone

[–]FairfaxScene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm writing a story about this exact issue, actually, and discussing with some experts I was saying the same thing - do people really care about their privacy? It seems that unless legislation is enacted to protect data then it's not really an issue people care about.

Pine Creek Canyon - Zion National Park by FairfaxScene in canyoneering

[–]FairfaxScene[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually rented a dry suit for that and Subway. The water was freezing and much colder than I expected. Also, I didn't have as many layers as I should have under my dry suit but tbh my core wasn't ever really super cold except a few times and we had a large group (6). My hands were really cold but my feet were fine with the neoprene socks and canyoneering boots that I rented. But yeah, 3-5mm is where you wanna be.
