One problem is that they recommend we take our own water (they don't recommend drinking any of the available water even w/ treatment).
I'm planning on carrying 6 liters. That is going to suck.
Should be fun otherwise.

Anybody ever watch the new series "I Shouldn't be Alive" on Discovery HD? They cover cases where folks narrowly escape death. A few weeks ago they did the story of the LDS scout troop from Utah that hiked into the Grand Canyon a few years back and ran out of water. One boy ended up dying and it is amazing that more didn't die. They had nowhere near enough water.
