Trip Report - October, 2003 - South Kaibab to Phantom to Kwagunt to Tanner

This was a another great trip and also another one that I had been looking forward to for a long time. Mike and I started talking about doing this one during the Point Huitzil, Royal Arch, Tonto, South Bass trip that we did last year and by the end of 2002 it had finally all started to fall into place.

Trip Highlights...

• Pre and post trip day hikes with Maggi
• Clear Creek... aways special to me
• Climbing the Redwall to Wotan's Throne & Angel's Gate saddle
• Asbestos Canyon
• Climbing The Tabernacle
• Ruins in Lava Canyon
• The Horsethief Route
• Butte Fault
• Being on the river again
• The moon and stars
• Everything in between all of the above

Happy Trails
