About
SenorYermo.com is a collaborative effort of a handful of Grand Canyon hikers and backpackers. Some might say we’re addicted to the Grand Canyon backcountry, if not completely obsessed. Our site is dedicated to providing interesting and useful Grand Canyon information on a variety of topics, in addition to a conversational forum for others who share in our passion.
For newcomers to the Grand Canyon experience – welcome! We hope that you can benefit from the extensive Grand Canyon backpacking experience of our contributors. To the hiking veterans of Grand Canyon, we welcome you with a tip of our hats and hope you enjoy this site as well. Happy Grand Canyon trails!
