Of course, you can't have a party without me! What if there is snow? Who's going to break trail?!?

Exactly what I was thinking, see you there.

Rough plan , day trips starting from jacobs lake .. 1) obvious . trip to north rim. visitor center , Cape Royal , sublime point , fire point , up to Ryan . then back to base . approx 150 miles depends on diversions , 90 % dirt roads .... fuel avail in jacobs .

2) Torroweep overlook , best ,, closest point to the river , can take the hiking trail to the river from there from jacobs 212 miles round trip 99 % dirt roads , fuel in fredonia AZ ,and jacobs .. worth the drive .

3) White Pockets ,,,, unique rock formations as pictured in above post 110 miles round trip all dirt roads , heavy sand 4x4 needed . one of my favorite to be lost in the desert . explore for a few hrs then back to base .. fuel in jacobs ..

4) Kodachrome basin , cottonwood canyon up to the park .. all scenic , puts you 20 minutes from bryce canyon .. long drive milage unknown approx 200 round trip . has 2 arch features , and one small hiking slot canyon , some hoodoos , fuel in jacobs ,and outside kodachrome .

Since I'm going to drive a long way after North Rim, I would be very interested in mild to moderate wheeling and great scenery.

Not interested in super challenging wheeling; also not interested in pavement.

All of those days sound amazing, though. Thanks for doing the home work, sir!

no prob ,mucho OCD

Great preliminary outline, Evan. Thanks for putting in the time. All sounds great. Really excited about Torroweep, been wanting to do that for a long time. For some six days of activity may be a bit much. If you leave the weekends for travel to and from home, that'd leave the five intervening weekdays for touring/exploring. If that's the case, Lee Ferry/Marble Canyon could be the flex. We've done that drive and it is both scenic and historic. Those coming in from the east could catch it on the way in. For others it could be an option as time permits.

Are we all agreed on the dates? Works fine for us and starts a tradition of including the longest day of the year.

was just there last weekend ,, 300 miles no gas stations , fun , grand gulch mine , savanic mine, cunningham mine.

Holy cow, lots of chatter here. I have been hating life over in the 100 section...
