Safety Notice

Although backpacking is probably safer than the drive to the trailhead, there is some risk involved. By its very nature, backpacking involves travel in remote wilderness areas where help may be days away. Anyone planning to do the trips described in this book must plan to be completely self-sufficient while in the backcountry. At least one member of the party should be experienced, and all group members should be properly equipped and fit for wilderness travel. Because trail conditions, weather, and hiker abilities all vary considerably, the author and the publisher cannot assume responsibility for the safety of anyone who takes these hikes. Backcountry safety is mostly a matter of common sense and being aware of your abilities and limitations. All water sources mentioned in the hike descriptions, except for the Bright Angel Trail option on the Nankoweap–Bright Angel Loop, are untreated and must be purified before use.
