The Rotunda/Throne Room tour will be $9.95 for kids age 7-13 and $18.95 for adults. There is no entran...
FYI....Thought this would be good to share. Arizona State Parks is pleased to announce the Big Room Grand Opening at Kartchner Caverns State Park!

I had that happen once after a long down hill . Mine happened because my hiking boots were to small. Purchased a new pair that were fitted at REI, and done the same trail 3 other times. No probelms since. I think I'd get new boots.
I use a first need water purifier. It weighs around 18 ounces but filters down to .01 microns. It claims to take everything (including viruses) out of the water and I haven't had a problem yet. It costs around 80 bucks. I have also used iodine tablets and bleach, personally I like the purifiers (no...

I know that it can sometimes be a downer to be out on a trail and come across a herd of noisy teens, but on the other hand I am in full supp...
There is plenty of room to camp for the night at the trail head. Nothing to write home about, but it will enable you to get an early start in the morning. Not a bad view to wake up to either.
The parking lot is large enough for ~200 cars. Folks sleep in the parking on the ground, in tents, and on cots. We slept in the back of my Explorer. The ground is a little hard for tent stakes. There is a restrooms at the trailhead if you need to use the facilities. Didn't see any water. :roll:
I just returned from Havasupai 2 1/2 weeks ago. In the campground there is chlorinated water that tastes like pool water. Some people were drinking that. Also, Fern Springs had a pipe coming out of the canyon wall. I had a filter, but after talking with other campers my son and I drank the water fro...
