New Hance to Grandview

This hike leads you 8 miles down the New Hance Trail to Hance Rapids and onto the Tonto Trail another 6 miles or so to Hance Creek then up another 3 miles or so to Horseshoe Mesa.  The climb up the eastern arm of the mesa from Page Spring is very steep with a very very steep drop off.  I would never do it again.  I would rather walk to the north side of the mesa and take the easy way up.  From Horseshoe Mesa to the rim is about 4 1/2 miles.  The total mileage of this hike is about 23 miles.
