Hello,
We are making a 5-week trip in Utah/Arizona in spring. We are planning on 5 multi-day hiking/packrafting trips in the greater Grand Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Escalante, and Zion areas.
As we will use a rental car for transport and most of our trips will be from point A to B, the logistics are causing some headaches.
In the Grand Canyon - Little Colorado area, I am planning on a trip from Lipan Point - down the Tanner Trail to the Colorado - upstream on the Tonto trail to the confluence - up the Little Colorado - out via Horse Trail. Our permits have been approved by GCNP. We plan on 5 days to complete the trip.
I am now thinking to park our car in Tuba City and hitchhike to Lipan Point. I guess this works well in the States? (we should still look civilized at this point )
Getting back to the car from the Horse Trail trailhead: hiking all the way back to Highway 89 looks way boring. Is there any shuttle service in Tuba City we could contact?
Any other remarks/suggestions are highly welcome!
Thanks,
Willem Vandoorne
