I am going to be at the bottom of the canyon in July where normal day temperatures reach or pass 115 F. Are the canisters for the Pocket Rocket stove safe under those conditions?
When I was in high school, my family hiked down to Phantom Ranch in August by the S Kaibab Tr. It was 113F at 6pm. Very little shade. And we were surrounded by hot rocks.You most likely won't like this response, but I just wanted to make sure you actually want to visit the bottom of the Grand Canyon in July. In addition to the extremely draining power of the sun during the day, the average low is still a very warm 78 degrees and that makes for poor sleeping for most people. 85 degrees at night is not unheard of in July.
Only the most hardcore of souls will find enjoy in it in my opinion. I refuse to go back there in anything above 100 degrees and I consider myself pretty tough usually
