Are you allowed to take a weapon like a gun or something in case of some wild animal trying to attack? Just wondering. |
It is a federal park so unless your a ATF agent or something you cannot carry. However, I do not think there is anything against carrying pepper spray.
It only took about 3 hours to hike to our destination, but 5 or more to get out. What was also tough is that it was 27 degrees outside at 6 am at the trail head. But in the mid 80's by the time we got to the bottom! Very tricky to dress for.
I would recommend you or anyone going! Even if you don't feel you can hike a trail, it is worth it just to walk along the rim and stare while contemplating. The Canyon is unimaginably old and yet we (humans) have arrived on Earth at a time when most geologists feel it is at its ultimate peak for beauty.
