Route Planning Notes

Use these reminders before selecting a final route.

Before choosing a route

Confirm the land agency, permit process, road access, weather season, fire restrictions, water plan, and vehicle support route.

GPS coordinates

Capture coordinates for campsites, water staging, porta potties, parking, emergency access, lunch stops, and major activity points.

Support vehicle access

Look for a support route that keeps vehicles away from trekkers where possible while still allowing water, equipment, medical, and sanitation access.

Map packet

Your final route packet should include start/end points, campsites, staging areas, emergency access, ranger district contacts, and alternate routes.

Forest Service and BLM routes may follow different processes.

Why leaders like the area

The Kaibab area has historically offered open country, forest roads, dispersed camping possibilities, and a setting that can work well for a pioneer-style trek experience.

What to verify

Always check current road closures, fire restrictions, campsite availability, water logistics, sanitation placement, and ranger district requirements.

Post-trek reporting

Some districts appreciate a short professional post-trek report with cleanup, stewardship, and group-use details.

Need additional maps?

Older route files may need to be verified, updated, renamed, or moved into TrekHQ over time. Keep a backup copy of all map PDFs and images in your TrekHQ folder.

Route due diligence

Before publishing any route to a stake, verify access, permits, closures, roads, water, sanitation, weather risks, and emergency access.

Suggested TrekHQ Workflow

Once a potential route is selected, use TrekHQ to turn the idea into a workable plan:

Open the Map Builder and mark trailhead, route, campsites, water staging, parking, support roads, and emergency access.
Use the Permit Instructions page to prepare the permit packet.
Use the Emergency Contact Builder to prepare local and trek leadership contacts.
Use the Water Staging Planner, Vehicle & Trailer Planner, and Transportation Planner to test whether the route is operationally realistic.
