Heyhey, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in planning a rim to rim run? I really haven't started planning yet-just wanted to see if anyone is interested. I believe some guys from the rock creek race team did it as a 50 mile run and they suggested some places to stay. I would love to go in December, but due to my lack of planning, I don't know if it is open at that time. If not, than May 2009.
Any interest? Thank, Robin

I would be interested in May!!! I'm not sure if December is a possibility, but if you could do it weather permitting I would be interested.

I don't think the north rim is open in December. I was at the GC in late May last year and that was the first weekend the north rim opened. Even then, it was very HOT!

usually the latest you would want to go is end of October. otherwise there is lots of snow on the north rim.
you could probably still go up the trail in Dec (i realize the roads and park on the north side are closed) but it could be really scary if it was icy. it is scary enough when it is just dirt!
my 2-cents is go either in Oct or May, otherwise it is too hot or too snowy
