I’m still going to do some research on where the good spots are but it’s always nice to hear from someone who has been there what the area is like. My husband and I are going to be taking a camping trip in March, not sure yet what part of the month. I would say more towards the middle. We want to camp for maybe 2 nights and be there 3 or 4 days. We are going all out on camping gear, we are taking some of our tax return and buying everything we need. (I lost all my great camping gear in my divorce)

Any spots you can recommend? I do want to stay in AZ going close to the boarders is ok but I would rather stay close to a main high way. My car is not in good shape and don’t want to take it some place it can’t come back from.

Thanks!!

I want to go on a camping trip to northern Arizona, perhaps the Grand Canyon in mid May. I live in west Phoenix but I’m new to Arizona so I don’t know any good camping grounds. I’ve only camped twice, and I’m only looking for a two night trip. So basically, any info I would need to know, or any suggestions about good camping grounds. I do have a jeep so it would be fun to do a little 4×4-ing maybe to get to the camp area. Also, I’m a college kid dont have that much money so whatever is nice area but cheap too would be great!

As a former bellman for Fred Harvey Lodges on the South Rim, of the Grand Canyon National Park, I made this DVD especially for those wanting to get away from the camera clicking masses that visit the canyon every year. This DVD takes you truely “off the beaten path” to places only the most seasoned Grand Canyon visitors know about. Some of these locations are more common to Mule Deer and Pink Canyon Rattlers than weekend warriors!

There is plenty of rare footage with pictures taken while logging up to 500 canyoneering miles under the rim. From hiking Comanche Point and Cape Solitude to the former mines near Horseshoe Mesa, from the South Kaibab to Phantom Ranch, from Cheyava Falls to Ribbon Falls, from the Bright Angel to an intense scramble along a faint route intended ONLY for experienced hikers out to the top of the famous Battleship, from the rugged Hermit Trail to the remote South Bass Royal Arch Loop, from the forested expanse of Crazy Jug Vista on the North Rim down to the Esplanade and awe inspiring power of Thunder River, from the East Rim to the West Rim, from the Grandview Lookout tower to famous Hopi Point, from tenting lonley Jumpup Point to a spectacular FREE camping spot at the edge of the canyon 3000 feet above the mighty Colorado River at Toroweap Point!

That’s not all, these disks even include the only “Rim to River” backroad adventure along Diamond Creek near Peach Springs. Just imagine that you can drive to the bottom of the Grand Canyon where only river runners pull out at! “Did I fail to mention the waterfalls of Havasupai or even the dusty never ending backroads leading out to the middle of nowhere at Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument region of the park?” Yes, Mount Trumbull, Kelly and Timp points, we have “Been there Done That!” taken the pictures and brought them back for you to enjoy!

COMING SOON! These two DVD’s are due out and for sale in Fall 2009.
