Trails Update – date posted Feb 15, 2012

Bright Angel Trail: The upper two miles of the trail is icy. The trail will probably become more icy over the next few days as new snow is packed and then freezes every night. As usual crampons/traction devices are recommended for the first two miles.

South Kaibab Trail: Muddy conditions will dominate over the next couple of weeks. Some hikers may wish to have crampons for the descent between trailhead and Cedar Ridge, especially once current snow melts and then freezes.

North Kaibab Trail: Crampons not needed in either direction. Some winter rockfall on trail. Below Supai Tunnel: 1 to 3 inches of snow turning to mud. Above Supai Tunnel 4 to 6 inches new powder on top of 4 inch base. No sign of ice build-up below the Redwall.
