Now, again you do not have to do the whole 14 miles here are the following spots that we will stop along the way and you can turn around:

You are probably wondering Rim to Rim, yes, N.O.M.H.A.D.S. have decided to break up the rims into parts so that we can get a feel of the trail and what to expect . Now, some of the group members are going the day before (12/5) to get acclimated with the elevation which is a little over an hour from the Grand Canyon South Rim Visitor Center which you are more than welcome to join us the day before (Note: Flagstaff has more amenities in case you need any last minute items). The entrance fee is $35.00 (Note: Annual Pass which is $80.00 and you will be able to get into basically all national parks all year round.. It's worth it!). The address is South Entrance Road, Grand Canyon Village, AZ 86023 (Note: We will provide more logistics as the event gets closer and monitor the weather as well). Of course, bring water, snacks, comfortable shoes/ hiking boots, and any other hiking necessities. This trail is not dog friendly.
