Tatahatso Canyon

A beautiful and difficult overnight canyoneering and packrafting trip in the Marble Canyon area of the Grand Canyon. Unique to Tatahatso Wash are the very scenic Redwall narrows, a long, beautiful stretch of packrafting and relative ease of access due to the canyons location on the south rim not terribly far from the highway compared to many other of the big Grand Canyon trips. While the hiking is mostly steep, difficult and tedious, the distances covered are relatively short mileage-wise; making this canyon trip slightly more approachable as far as the big Grand Canyon trips go. Full trip description available in Todd Martin's book Grand Canyoneering. The technical part of the canyon is entirely within Grand Canyon National Park, and bolting is prohibited. This canyon has been done hundreds of times using natural anchors, so you can too! If your natural anchor game is weak, you might bring a selection of wired stoppers which seem to work well in this section of rock.
