I (along with 2-3 others) am hiking from the South to the North on the 6th and back on the 7th. So I guess I will meet you guys on the North Kaibab 5:30 am shuttle to the trailhead ;)

In response to olesma's reply:
I am really sorry for your loss. I hope you find the strength to overcome very soon. deepest condolences,

In response to hikeaz's reply:
Thanks for your help!

Are there any good natural water sources on the way ? If yes , what kind of water treating/filtering equipment should we carry or is it good enuf to dring directly ? Any pointers that would be highly appreciated.
