Trying to figure out the best strategy to get camping reservations in the Canyon. Haven't played this game before and was hoping that some fellow SPers might share some insight on maximizing the chance of scoring our reservations.
My older brother has decided he needs to see the Canyon from the inside before he kicks the bucket. I agreed to accompany him since I've been down to the river once before and also to keep him from killing himself. He put in for campground reservations just prior to June 1st for October and got notice this past week that he didn't get them.
I'm thinking that maybe we should put in for November and that both of us should put in for the same times to double our chances. Planning on heading in on the "main highway", the Bright Angel Trail to Indian Gardens then on to Bright Angel CG for a couple nights before heading back, spending another night at IG CG before heading back out.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
