AZ: Grand Canyon – 150 mile, Matkat, Panameta

Recent trip with Rob down 150 mile, Matkat, and Panameta. Left 150 mile trailhead at about 2pm. Camped in between the first and second set of raps. Swam one time in 150 mile but with the temps in the 90’s felt pretty good to get in the water.
Next day continued down 150 mile over to Matkat hotel. We had enough time to hike up to the Matkat narrows .
3rd day went up Matkat and down Panameta. One of us wore a 4/3 wetsuit and one had no wetsuit. With temps at the river around 100 we could have used a shortie.
4th day down the river to 150 mile. Up 150 mile to the top of the redwall. Next day out in about 3 hours. Great trip

  • The trip started on September 30th. There was one spot in 150 mile that was a swim and 2 others that we waded. Panameta looked to be low, and the water was not that chilly. The anchors and webbing in Panameta were in great shape. Replaced some webbing in 150 mile.

  • One swim in 150? Lots of wading maybe? Temps in the 90’s? When were you there? Panameta without a suit? Burly even if its in the 90’s. Nice TR
