Ron,
When we were kids we rode pack mules down into the canyon. It was a hard trip even on a mule. It is not for the faint of heart.
There have been so many people die from stupidity there. If you get a chance read the book, "Death in the Canyon". Whne we were there with the kids we picked it up thinking it was not real and someone had just written a story about the Canyon. Heck no it is for real.
We went the to stay for a couple of days and see many of the look outs. The first night when we got back to the room we started reading this book. It scared the living hell out of me with the kids there, we left the next morning and went some where else.
It is a beautiful but DANGEROUS place.
So many people have just walked up to the edge and over it. I remember a couple stories about one guy waking up in the middle of the night, told his buddies he was going to go pee over the rim. They found him the next afternoon some 800 feet or so below the rim.
Some people die walking DOWN to the river.
