Ok, I have done the hike 3 times. From the airstrip to the highway. I see online all the time that tons of people hike it and sleep on the ground in bags with no tents. Is there not a danger of snakes or spiders getting on you while you sleep? How safe is this? To put an earth mat down and your sleeping bag? I don't really think there would be a ton of rattlesnakes IN the canyon around the water, but I know there are other things. Anyone here do that?
I am taking a small group including some of my students who are graduating on this hike, and am considering ditching the tents to save them weight. But before I do I wanted to know how dangerous it is.
