If you had to blow $5k on a trip that looks pretty worthy.

Hey Slabby,

If you did an off season trip, (October through April) you could get a 12 day trip for less than 1500 a person. I used to guide in the grand, and in 04 I planned a trip for 11 people in april. Granted it was with the company that I had worked for 9 years earlier, but they only charged us $1200 each for a 12 day trip.

Part of the reason is that the Park Service requires opperators to use some of their user days in the off season. These trips are hard to sell. If you were there just for the climbing it would be much better than doing the grand during peak season, but you'd want to stay dry for sure!

If interested send me a line.

Nef,

That included 3 guides, all of our food, gear, etc. We'd paddle all day get to camp and start drinking or take a hike while they cooked, and cleaned afterwards. It was a hell of a bargin.
