7Days6Nights

Backpacking - Grand Canyon, California Coast, Utah, New Mexico, Arkansas, Georgia, Ontario, Michigan - Primarily 7 day 6 night trips. I hope this BLOG will be helpful to those who are looking for trips longer than the typical 3 or 4 days. I have taken over 24 backpacking trips that were about one week long. Some were repeats. Many of the long hikes were in the Grand Canyon, on trails outside the Corridor.

About Me

Norm Kern
Michigan, United States
Age - 60+. Backpacking since age 43. 1 to 2 trips per year. I do all the planning for our trips using books and some Internet resources. Due to family situations most of these trips have been in April or May, which places some restrictions on the locations from which we have to choose. Most of these trips have been done with my best friend Jerry, a few with an additional good friend John, a few alone, a few with my wife Bonnie. None involved more than 4 people.
