Winter Inversion from the South Rim, Have you ever seen one?

Shuttles!

---

Shuttles are great when you can get one; even better when you have friends that can do them for you. Here is a list of possible Shuttles on the North Rim and South Rim. Please call in advance to see if someone is available and make arrangements. They are expensive! I have often arranged shuttles at the last minute just by asking locals in Fredonia or Tusayan if they knew anyone. I make no guarantees with any of these below.

Please set me know if any of these are not up to date or if you learn of others!

South Rim

Dennis Tacey, likes to go to South Bass. He has been managing Maswik Cafe since February. 2001. Formerly he was at Yavapai. Dennis says, "my partner and I have decided to charge $75 for the first person and $25 per person there after. This doesn't include the Havasupai gate fee, providing they are manning the gate."  He can be reached at  dnatacey@grand-canyon.az.us or his home number at 928-638-9532

The Bright Angel Lodge Transportation Desk, switchboard number is 928-638-2631 keeps a list of local people that do it for hire.

Other ideas include mountain biking back for the car, or asking around in Maswick or Yavapai or the General Store. One guy saw a compact car out there. In dry weather almost any vehicle can make it except for the last mile. I have driven out to the Pasture Wash Ranger Station, and left the car there. Then hiked the rest of the way to the trailhead.

To the North side try Trans Canyon Shuttle 1-928-638-2820
