I'm looking for an update to information in a similar thread concerning traction devices for Grand Canyon hiking in March.
We'll be there around 15-Nov this year (permits arrived last night, second try!). We'll be hiking on the South Kaibab and Bright Angel trails.
Are traction devices needed this early on these trails? If so, what do people think is the best choice?
Microspikes sound great but are heavy and expensive and I only need them for this hike. Would some of the cheaper instep devices be adequate? If so, which ones?
Thanks in advance.
