Signal mirrors work great. They are also all a private trip needs.
Flash anything and everything. You don't need to know Morse code or any
other technical crap. just flash. Also every commercial trip carries a
radio. Flash one stop it call out. Finally hauling ass for Phantom or
Diamond works as well given your proximity to either. In 6 trips I have
never needed assistance and the likely hood is pretty slim you will as
well. Most problems can be avoided by common sense. Don't play with
rattlesnakes, don't climb to difficult to reach areas, carry plenty of
water. You can by a signal mirror at most Army surplus stores for a few
dollars.

Evac.'s are very rare.

Enjoy yourself and take care of the canyon.
