Canyon Mapping

This is a simple map drawing, which does not show the many trail switchbacks.

Some of the best trails to take for an extremely active adventure are the trails in Grand Canyon National Park. Our pencil journey this month takes us there.


Pencil Journey
Locate a map, picture, or virtual trail (see June 2015) of the Grand Canyon, and imagine the trail adventure you want. Sketch the trail on a big sheet of paper. Draw pictures along the way of things you will see/do and need to take along. Remember the trail goes down a long way, about ten miles. And then, you have to hike back out. Read IN THE CANYON for inspiration.
