Grand Canyon Upper Ribbon Falls

Post by Barrett »

Topos show "Upper Ribbon Falls" directly up canyon from Ribbon Falls.
Google Earth even shows some faint trail on the north slope. Has anyone been up there or have information about these mysterious falls? A trail acquaintance told me they are as spectacular as the lower falls- could this be true?

In response to Abbey's reply:
Yes and Yes. (and Ruins). Look at my photos of Ribbon Falls.

I see in another thread that we are discussing "Secret Places". :-# [-( Since very few people will ever have the time, opportunity, motivation, skills or cajones to find the upper falls, I won't tantalize any further. :-# I PM'd you.

When are you going? I would expect them to be running strongest in the spring.

ps. I still have it on my agenda and I'll let you know about hitting the Skull Mesa ruins this November or December.

pps Will you quit hogging the forums with all your posts. :lol: (two posts in how many years?)

Looks like 4 years to me. Jeeze, quite the verbose fellow.
