CRMP - Cyclic Maintenance and Site Restoration Program

The NPS implemented a site-specific restoration program to address on-site impacts, with focus on popular use areas and campsites. The work includes trail maintenance, social trail obliteration, revegetation of denuded areas, invasive plant management, campsite delineation, and other methods used to address impacts to archeological sites. A trip conducted in October-November 2006 completed work at Buck Farm, Saddle, Little Nankoweap and Nankoweap, the LCR, Hance, Granite, Hermit, Crystal, Tapeats, and Deer Creek. The March 2007 trip included work projects at Soap Creek, South Canyon, Nankoweap Point Camp, Lava/Chuar, Tanner, Hance and Lava Scout trail.

Did You Know?
During the summer months temperatures within the Grand Canyon are extremely high. Plan your day so you are not hiking between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Take a break near shade and water to avoid the worst heat of day. Enjoy a predawn start and a late afternoon finish.
