I took a rest from the internet for a day, and what a discussion I missed! Thank you everyone for your inputs. I suppose I could rent a jeep for the day, drop off the boys, and then explore some places I've never contemplated before due to vehicle constraints. Is it difficult to learn to drive a jeep?
Do hikers usually go in on Marble and out through Cottonwood, or the other way around? Can it be done in two days instead of three, so one doesn't have to haul as much water? I'm guessing they would need three gallons each at a minimum for three days, and they'd have to be careful with it.
If this isn't workable, is there any other 2/3 day hike that you would recommend? They're both in good shape and comfortable with the outdoors, but they are young. I want them to have a grand adventure without any ER visits or more gray hairs for me.
