When I went hiking in the Grand Canyon 5 years ago, there were repeated warnings that long hikes in the canyon were risky and that you would be charged for rescue. They said the average helicopter rescue cost 4,000$ dollars. Of course, I hiked to the river and back from the rim. It took 9 hours, 16 miles, and 5,000 ft of elevation in each direction. You have to know what you are personally capapble of doing.
